101. Hurricanes may move in any direction. However, it is rare and generally of short duration when a hurricane in the Northern Hemisphere moves in which direction?

Southeast motion is rare in the Northern Hemisphere due to prevailing westward and poleward/eastward steering currents. Hurricanes are typically steered west or northwest by trade winds and the subtropical high, and later recurve north and northeast under the influence of westerlies; therefore, southeast movement is atypical and brief.
