is the wind coming from or going to
Wind direction Wind direction is reported by the direction from which it originates. For example, a northerly wind blows from the north to the south.[1] Wind direction is usually reported in cardinal directions or in azimuth degrees. Wind direction is measured in degrees clockwise from due north. Consequently, a wind blowing from the north has a wind direction of 0 degrees; a wind blowing from the east has a wind direction of 90 degrees; a wind blowing from the south has a wind direction of 180 degrees; and a wind blowing from the west has a wind direction of 270 degrees. In general, wind directions are measured in units from 0째 to 360째, but can alternatively be expressed from -180째 to 180째.
High-pressure area Winds within high-pressure areas flow outward from the higher pressure areas near their centers towards the lower pressure areas further from their centers. Gravity adds to the forces causing this general movement, because the higher pressure compresses the column of air near the center of the area into greater density â€“ and so greater weight compared to lower pressure, lower density, and lower weight of the air outside the center.
