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.

How are westerlies named?
they get their name because of the direction they blow
What winds blow west in the middle latitudes?
The Westerlies.
The prevailing westerlies blow across what ocean?
Africa
What is the difference between trade winds and westerlies?
Trade winds blow from east to west while the westerlies blow from west to east. Trade winds blow near the equator whereas the westerlies blow in the middle latitudes.
In which direction do the westerlies blow in the southern hemisphere?
If they're called Westerlies, they blow from the west. These winds blow in the mid-latitudes in both hemispheres. They blow in the same direction because air tends to flow towards the poles at those latitudes, getting deflected by the coriolis force at the same time.
How are westerlies named?
they get their name because of the direction they blow
What way does weather blow in the US?
usually west to east because in the global wind currents, we are located in the westerlies. but the wind can blow in any direction
What is the direction of westerlies in new zealand?
Winds are categorised according to the direction from which they blow - so a Northerly over NZ blows from the tropics towards the south and is usually a warmer air flow, while a southerly, blowing from Antarctica, would be chilly. Westerly winds over NZ are the prevailing winds, that is, they blow from that direction most often. Westerlies blow from Australia, across the Tasman Sea and approach NZ along its West Coast.
What winds blow diagonally from east to west?
This would in fact be the Polar Easterlies. Winds from the north blow south, but are pushed from east to west by the Westerlies which forces the wind into a diagonal direction.
The prevailing westerlies blow across what ocean?
Africa
What winds blow west in the middle latitudes?
The Westerlies.
Is there a wind called the polar westerlies?
No, only the Polar Easterlies (in both hemispheres). The Westerlies only blow in the mid-latitudes.
What winds near the equator blow west?
Polar Westerlies.
What winds blow from west to east?
the trade winds
Why are westerlies called westerlies?
because of the direction they travel in. they travel from west to east due to the coriolis effect
What is the difference between trade winds and westerlies?
Trade winds blow from east to west while the westerlies blow from west to east. Trade winds blow near the equator whereas the westerlies blow in the middle latitudes.
What directions do westerlies blow?
Prevailing winds are also known as wind belts and can simply be described as winds that blow mainly from one direction.While local winds can vary in all directions, large scale weather patterns and wind patterns are part of the global wind belts. Multiple diagrams for global wind belts can be found using a simple search on the internet. Large-scale high and low pressure zones are formed and since winds blow from high to low, large circulation patterns of prevailing winds are formed. These winds are deflected in an East or West direction based on the Coriolis Effect. More information on the Coriolis Effect can be found in the links below. In England the prevailing wind is SW.
