Wind direction is where the wind has travelled from. So for example, if a wind of 5mph was coming from the south west there would be a 5mph south west wind. You could also describe this as a south westerly Force 2 Light Breeze using the Beaufort scale.

A headwind, a wind travelling in the opposite direction to travel, reduces the range of jet aircraft;If the aircraft is flying at 600 knots into a 100 knot wind, then the distance travelled on the ground is only 500 knots. So more fuel will be burned to cover the same distance.A tail wind (a wind travelling in the same direction as the aircraft) will increase the range because the jet engines will not have to burn as much fuel to maintain the same ground speed.
