Global winds blow North to South
When wind blows from the west to the east it is referred to as the westerly's and in the mid-global latitudes of between 35 and 65 degrees they are called prevailing westerly's or prevailing winds.
Longitude and Latitude are generally what are used to describe your position on the earth. Longitude describes your East-West position relative to some point, and latitude describes your North-South position relative to the Equator. These were historically measured with astronomical observations, but are now most commonly determined by Global Positioning System instruments.
Latitudinal measurements. The East/West centerline is the Equator.
