how do wind patterns affect climate?
Wind currents can push warm or cold air in the direction of the currents. They can even push storms in the direction the current is flowing.
the wind movement also influences the climate of a particular place. The unequal heating of the earth's surface results in the formation of the different wind systems.
Wind will determine what the local climate is depending on topography and latitude. An area exposed to the prevailing wind on a mountain will likely be wetter because moisture from any storm systems run in to the slope and it rains, while the aspect facing away from a slope will likely be drier because there are no winds bringing in moisture. Wind also causes erosion. Winds as in prevailing winds can also change temperature.
Climate depends on where winds are blowing from. For example, if a wind is blowing from the equator, the climate in the region would naturally be hotter as the equator region receives direct sunlight. However, if the wind is blowing from the polar regions, the area would be colder due to low temperatures.
The long-term distribution of heat and precipitation on Earth's surface is called global climate. Heat from the sun keeps the Earth's average temperature at about 60°F(16°C), within a range that allows for biological life and maintains the planet's life-sustaining reservoirs of liquid water. Astronomical variations and atmospheric shielding cause incoming solar radiation to fall unevenly on the Earth's surface. Ocean currents and winds further redistribute heat and moisture around the globe, creating climate zones. Climate zones have characteristic annual precipitation, temperature, wind, and ocean current patterns that together determine local, short-term weather, and affect development of ecologically adapted suites of plants and animals. Changes in the astronomical, oceanographic, atmospheric, and geological factors that determine global climate can lead to global climate change over time. The term climate is reserved for regional patterns of temperature and precipitation that persist for decades and centuries. Local atmospheric, oceanic, and temperature phenomena like storms and droughts that occur over hours, days, or seasons, is generally referred to as weather.
well its because you who is reading this is a retard.
The wind can cause the climate to change while it is blowing. Moisture and hot and cold weather are caused by the wind.
They blow the wind eastward and whenever the winds hits the ocean the ocean cools down and erosion happens.

Many things effect local wind patterns. The local temperature and how it varies also effect the winds. Temperature variations also affect the local wind patterns.

Yes, water does affect climate: One reason that Britain 'enjoys' a temperate, rather variable, wet climate is that the prevailing south-westerly wind passes over the Atlantic Ocean. The wind, with the warmth from the Sun, take up water vapour, form clouds, and blow the rain filled clouds over Britain.

the prevailing winds affect or weather because when wind kicks up it takes miosture into the atmosphere!
Prevailing
Major wind systems that follow similar patterns over time are known as prevailing winds.

Prevailing north westerlies
The Japanese current carries cold water down from the north and causes the coastal climate to be cooler than the climate further inland since the prevailing west wind is cooled.
The paths of hurricanes and other storm systems are determined by large scale wind patterns. These patterns are influenced by the trade winds, the prevailing westerlies, and high and low pressure systems. By showing the strength of these wind patterns and the locations and sized of high and low pressure systems it is possible to calculate how the will likely affect a storm's path.
