The wind does not always blow from the west. In the northern hemisphere there are a number of air currents that move in different directions. The same is true for the southern. In the latitudes in which the US lies, the general direction of air movement is west to east, but this varies slightly depending on storm fronts.
Movement of the air is generally determined by Coriolis effects.
Air in the northern cell move easterly, air in the Hadley cells, nearer to the equator move in a westerly direction.
this is because of the roatation of the earth..
- your welcome ;)
the prevailing westerlies blows from WEST to EAST, between 30 and 60 degrees latitude.
westerly
A west wind moves the air to the east.
A wind that blows from west to east is called a westerly wind. The direction of origin is the name of the wind.
90% of Wind Bangalore get from South or West or South west direction

from north west. it's hot and dry wind.
To the West.
Another term for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The current prevents warm water from reaching Antarctica and melting the ice caps.
We name winds from the direction they come from. So north winds come from the north. East winds come from the east, and blow west. Winds can come out of any direction. The direction the winds come out of the most often depends on where you live.
well the wind blows east and west mostly and the wind blows west one hour or more the east one hour or more
Ode to the west wind
South-West.
An east wind comes out of the east, a west wind comes out of the west and so on.
The most common direction of winds really depend on where you live. If you live in the United States, the winds and weather would come out of the west most often, we would call those winds westerlies. However, if you live closer to the equator, the direction of the winds and weather would most often come out of the east.
It is a south-westerly wind. Always named after the direction the wind comes FROM And if from south-west it blows at 180 degress to north-east so not at 90 degrees to south-east direction.
Throughout most of New Zealand, the prevailing wind is from the west.
