{'tropical cyclones': [1, 0, 1, 4], 'cyclones': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'southern hemisphere': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'wind blow': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'northern hemisphere': [3, 0, 0, 2], 'central low': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'phenomenon': [3, 4, 7, 15]}

Option 1 refers to anti-tropical cyclones of the southern hemisphere. This means that the wind blows from all sides to a central high-pressure area, rather than a central low. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2 refers to temperate cyclones of the northern hemisphere. While temperate cyclones do have low-pressure areas, the wind typically blows counterclockwise around them. In this phenomenon, the wind is blowing toward the central low-pressure area in an anti-clockwise direction. Therefore, option 2 is incorrect.

Option 3 states that when the wind blows from all sides to the central low in an anti-clockwise direction, it is known as tropical cyclones of the northern hemisphere. This option correctly describes the phenomenon mentioned in the question, as tropical cyclones typically have a central low-pressure area with wind circulating counterclockwise around it. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 4 refers to tropical cyclones of the southern hemisphere. Like option 3, this option also describes tropical cyclones, but it specifies the southern hemisphere instead of the northern hemisphere. Therefore, option 4 is incorrect.

In conclusion, option 3 is the correct answer as it accurately describes the phenomenon of wind blowing from all sides to
