Do high pressure systems move clockwise or counterclockwise?
In the northern hemisphere wind blow around high-pressure systems in a clockwise direction. In the southern hemisphere, the wind blow is in the opposite (anticlockwise) direction.
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.).

Where direction does the north wind blow?
A North wind blows FROM the North TO the South. When you hear someone say North wind, East wind, South wind, or West wind, they are referring to the direction the wind is blowing FROM.
Does wind always blow from high pressure to low pressure?
Yes, winds always blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
Which direction does wind blow?
East To West.
What direction does the trade winds blow?
Trade winds are strong winds that blow towards the equator from northeast or south east direction. They are planetary winds that keep blowing from subtropical high pressure zone to equilateral low pressure zones

Why do winds blow in a direction?
Winds are simply air that is 'sucked' from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area.
Which direction does the wind blow in the southern hemisphere?
COUNTER CLOCKWISE= low pressure CLOCK WISE= high pressure
How does pressure affect the direction of wind flow?
Wind is a cousin to the pressure. Pressure moves the wind.
Which direction does the wind blow in a low and a high pressure system?
It would blow from the mass of high pressure to the mass of low pressure.Answer 2Looking down from a satellite, the northern hemisphere high pressure systems move in a clockwise direction and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.Low pressure systems are the reverse of these, IE clockwise in the southern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere.
What direction does the wind blow?
A southeast wind is from the southeast toward the northwest.
The polar easterlies blow in what direction?
