query on westerly winds

Hi Sir, 

I have encountered a statement like this
The velocity of westerlies increases southwards and they become stormy.

Why is that Sir?

Will it happen in both the hemispheres?

-sriram chakri-




plz refer ur climate topic and special names of westerlies in southern hemi..

southern.hemisphere has less land and so less obstruction to westerly winds and hence more stormy..
