The wind is blowing toward you because air goes high to low pressure. Warm air has a low pressure and has a lower density than cool air so it rises. Warm air can also hold an abundance of water vapor, cold air can't hold as much. When warm air rises i cools down, but since cold air can't hold as much water vapor, clouds precipitate.

What happens to a wind blowing toward south in the northern hemisphere what would you called that wind?

In the Northern Hemisphere, a wind blowing toward the south is typically called a "southerly wind." As it moves southward, it is influenced by the Coriolis effect, causing it to deflect to the right of its direction of travel. This results in a southerly wind that may have a westward component, depending on the specific conditions.


Are winds I name for the directions they are blowing toward?
