Wind blows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Changes in wind direction would be a result in changes in air pressure due to factors such as altitude and temperature.

Another thing that changes the direction of the wind is known as the coriolis effect, which causes winds in each hemisphere to curve. This effect is a result of Earth's rotation.
