No. Winds can be found at just about all altitudes, and whether they'd be headwinds or tailwids would depend on where you're heading.

Can a hurricane lift a human?
The winds of a strong enough hurricane could blow a person away but could not lift a person up as the winds at ground level in a hurricane are mostly horizontal.
Why do prevailing winds occur?
by pooping
Winds associated with a cold front are strongest when?
Winds associated with a cold front are strongest when the front is accompanied by thunderstorms. A cold front is a leading mass of air that replaces a warm mass of air at ground level.
What occurs when cold winds are weak from the east?
what occur when cold winds from the east are weak
Which winds are not planetary winds?
Planetary winds are any winds that occur because of solar radiation. They are in direct correlation to the rotation of the earth. Planetary winds do not blow directly north or south.
Can a tornado cause damage without touching the ground?
Yes and no. The funnel of a tornado does not have to reach the ground for damaging winds to occur at ground level. However, if those winds reach the ground then the tornado has touched down even if the funnel hasn't.
Were do local winds occur?
Local winds occur on lakeshores or seashores
Do tornadoes have winds moving at hundreds of kilometers an hour?
They can have such winds. The estimated winds for an EF0, the weakest level, start at 105 km/h. Estimated winds for and EF5 tornado, the highest level, start at 322 km/h, but tornadoes this strong are very rare. The highest wind speed recorded in a tornado was 486 km/h, but this was at a point in the tornado well above the ground. Recently, ground level winds of about 400 km/h have been estimated based on damage.
What are the major ground-level wind pattern?
There are six polar easterlies, doldrurms, trade winds, subtropical high zone, westerly winds and polar front.
Can a hurricane lift a human?
The winds of a strong enough hurricane could blow a person away but could not lift a person up as the winds at ground level in a hurricane are mostly horizontal.
What happens if a tornado strikes the ground?
Air at ground level will then spiral into the tornado and reach great speeds. Any buildings or trees the tornado hits will be damaged or destroyed by the winds.

What characeristics does a storm have to have to be categoreized as a tornado?
To be considered a tornado, a storm mustRotateProduce ground level winds strong enough to cause damageBe in contact with both the ground, and the cloud base of a parent storm
Does the funnel of a tornado touch the ground?
Not always. The funnel is only the portion of the tornado that is visible. The winds of a tornado at ground level may still be capable of causing significant damage even if the visible funnel does not reach ground level. When this occurs it is usually evidenced by swirling dust or debris beneath the funnel. That is usually enough to report a tornado. Oftentimes, though, the funnel does touch the ground in which case there is definitely a tornado. Also of note is that sometimes you have a funnel that does not produce damaging winds on the ground. These are not counted in tornado statistics.
Do local winds only occur in one place?
Every place has its own local winds.
