    The coriolis effect is a fictitious force, it’s just an artifact of not doing measurements in an inertial reference frame.

    Edit: If I were to attribute it to anything, I’d attribute it to the actual rotation of the earth.

      As the highs lows are part of the earth’s atmosphere and thus trapped in a non-inertial frame of reference, they indeed experience the fictitious forces, such as the Coriolis and the centrifugal force.
