What is difference between nw wind and nnw wind and wnw wind or similar?

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.


Does a west wind move from west to east?

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.).
