Prevailing westerlies are strong winds that blow from the west to the east in the middle latitudes of both hemispheres, typically between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. These winds are a result of the Earth's rotation and the temperature differences between the equator and the poles. They play a significant role in weather patterns and ocean currents, influencing climate in various regions. The prevailing westerlies are particularly important for the movement of storm systems across the continents.
