The trade winds are the pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics near the equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast and from the southeast. The trade winds act as the steering flow for tropical storms that form over the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans that make landfall in North America, Southeast Asia, and India.

Whe trading between continents was done by sailing ships the captain quickly figured out that there were places and times where they'd "always" get a good tailwind that made the trip fast and easy. As those trips were done to trade the favourable winds were called trade winds.

Trade winds blow almost all the time. They provide a continuous warm breeze to areas where trade winds blow. Hawaii is one place that has trade winds.
