Global Winds are the normal direction that the wind would normally come from, like in the United States, wind would normally come out the of the West, and the weather patterns also in the United States would move West to East.
Local Winds indicate which direction and speed the wind is traveling, you can measure this with a Wind Vane and an Anemometer. If you live in the United States, you can usually expect winds and weather patterns out of the west. However, if you live closer to the equator, you can expect winds and weather patterns to come of the East.
