In the north-east region of the US (Pennsylvania, New York, New Hampshire, etc.) the weather (which is pushed by the winds) usually moves from the south-west to the north-east.

Where do wind storms occur mostly?

Areas prone to wind storms include parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, as well as regions near the equator where tropical cyclones develop.

Does Wind blow out of low pressure areas?

Wind flows Cyclonically (counterclockwise) into a low pressure system. (Winds flow clockwise out of a high pressure system)... in the Northern Hemisphere. A severe low in the northern hemisphere produces winds that are called a Hurricane (USA) or Typhoon (Japan/coast of China).Winds flow clockwise around a low pressure area in the southern hemisphere. A severe low in the northern hemisphere produces winds that are called a Cyclone.


Why does weather generally move from west to east in the conterminous US?

Unequal heating of the Earth creates global wind cells. From latitudes of 30-60 degrees in the northern hemisphere the surface winds travel from south to north. However, because the Earth is spinning the wind gets deflected to the right (left in the southern hemisphere) or to the east.


What is the wet side of a hurricane?

The wet side of a hurricane is the side where the most intense rainfall and strongest winds occur. This side is typically to the right of the storm's direction of movement in the Northern Hemisphere. Winds on the wet side of a hurricane blow from the ocean towards the land, bringing with them moisture that leads to heavy rainfall.

Does the wind in the us blow east to west west to east north to south or south to north?

It can blow from any of those directions, because wind directions are caused by low pressure and high pressure areas and their position relative to where you are. Air currents in a low pressure area move counter-clockwise, air currents in a high pressure area move clockwise. So if there is a low pressure area north of you, the counter-clockwise air movement will cause a wind blowing from west to east. There are however prevailing wind directions in most areas of the globe including the USA. What it is in your area will depend on where you live. Flagstaff Arizona for instance has a south westerly wind most of the time, while San Francisco usually has a north-westerly wind. Jus google "prevailing wind direction" plus the name of your State and you will find what it is where you live.
