NW wind comes from the northwest direction, NNW wind comes from the north-northwest direction, and WNW wind comes from the west-northwest direction. The difference lies in the specific angle at which the wind is blowing in relation to the cardinal directions. With each of these winds, the exact angle and direction from which the wind is coming will vary slightly.

Does a westerly wind come from the west or does it blow to the west?
When a wind is easterly, it blows from the east towards the west. However, when the wind is eastward, it blows from the west towards the east. The suffix is what determines the direction. "Ly" means from and "ward" means towards. From your example, I would say that the wind is coming FROM the north and blowing TOWARD the south.

Why is the weather reported as NNW instead of NW?
The weather is reported as NNW (North-Northwest) to provide a more precise direction. Using NNW indicates a more specific angle between North and Northwest, helping to accurately convey the wind direction or weather pattern. It offers a more detailed description than simply NW.

What direction is NNW plus 90 degrees?
The direction NNW plus 90 degrees is ENE. ---------------------- NW is a bearing of 315 and NNW is a bearing of 337.5. Add 90 to this, and subtract 360 because we have "gone round": 337.5 + 90 = 427.5; 427.5 - 360 = 67.5. This is past NE, so the answer is ENE.
