Prevailing
The small air circulation patterns that move short distances and can blow from any direction are called local winds. These winds are typically influenced by local topography, temperature differences, and changes in pressure. Examples include sea breezes, mountain breezes, and valley breezes.
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.

The convention for naming winds is for the general direction from which they originate, not the direction in which they are heading
prevailing winds are part of large patterns of circulation that come from the same direction?

The combination of convection cells found at every 30 degrees of latitude and the Coriolis effect produces patterns of air circulation called global winds. Local winds blow from any direction and move short distances. Local winds are caused by unequal heating within a small area.

global winds
Global Winds are the current speed of the jet stream, while Local Winds is the current wind speed for a certain location.
Global Winds are the normal direction that the wind would normally come from, like in the United States, wind would normally come out the of the West, and the weather patterns also in the United States would move West to East. Local Winds indicate which direction and speed the wind is traveling, you can measure this with a Wind Vane and an Anemometer. If you live in the United States, you can usually expect winds and weather patterns out of the west. However, if you live closer to the equator, you can expect winds and weather patterns to come of the East.
