I'm not sure it does! There's a chap in Africa on the equator who performs this experiment with a basin. He sends the water spinning on one side of the equator, then walks a couple of meters and sends the water spinning in the opposite direction on the other. It's all sleight of hand. You need something on the scale of miles (i.e. weather systems) for the hemisphere to matter.
