As
air tries to rush in to fill up the low pressure region, Coriolis force deflects it to the right. It starts to circulate
counterclockwise.
A
better way to think about circulation at mid latitudes
The more the air tries to rush in to the
low pressure area, the faster it circulates.
This is like a gyroscope – which moves at right angles to the way you try to turn it.

Now
think of this as view looking down on a low pressure region
