WestNordWest Wind. ~281°
Oh honey, let me break it down for you. The difference between NW (northwest) wind, NNW (north-northwest) wind, and WNW (west-northwest) wind is all about the direction they're blowing from. NW comes from the northwest, NNW comes from a bit more north of that, and WNW comes from the west-northwest. So, basically, it's like playing a game of "which way is the wind coming from" with compass directions.
Per weather.com:"WIND DIRECTION: The direction from which the wind is blowing. For example, an easterly wind is blowing from the east, not toward the east. It is reported with reference to true north, or 360 degrees on the compass, and expressed to the nearest 10 degrees, or to one of the 16 points of the compass (N, NE, WNW, etc.).

No. A wind vane is an instrument that can tell wind speed but not wind direction.
An east wind comes out of the east, a west wind comes out of the west and so on.
An anemometer is used to measure velocity and is the spinning part on a weather station. A weather vane is an instrument for showing the direction of the wind. They are typically used as an architectural ornament on the highest point of a building. On a sailboat, the vane at the top of the mast is called a windex.

Clockwise, form WNW, is NNE.
WNW is halfway between West and Northwest. Northwest is halfway between West and North.
Think about it. The opposite of west is? East. The opposite of north is? South. So the opposite of WNW is ESE.
Tenerife
It is NNE.
hi
292.5 degrees
Clockwise is ESE; anticlockwise is WNW
The opposite of ESE on the compass is WNW (West Northwest).
It was in a small town in Poland, about 45 miles WNW of Lodz.
