In a south wind, the wind is coming from the south and blowing towards the north. This means that if you are facing the direction the wind is coming from, you would be looking south. South winds often bring warmer air, especially in temperate regions.
If the wind is from the north, the wind vane will point to the south. The wind vane is weighted so that the wind can swing it in the direction that it is going.
Wind direction is where the wind has travelled from. So for example, if a wind of 5mph was coming from the south west there would be a 5mph south west wind. You could also describe this as a south westerly Force 2 Light Breeze using the Beaufort scale.
When you name a wind. You name it in the direction it is coming from, so a wind blowing toward the north comes from the south. It is therefore a South Wind.
The name south, west etc tells us the direction the wind comes from. So a south wind comes from the south and blows toward the north.However, at the South Pole it is not possible to have a south wind because all directions from that point are north. Therefore the answer is false.
A north by northwest (NNW) wind at 6 mph is coming from the north by northwest direction. This means that the wind originates from that compass direction and is blowing toward the south by southeast. In meteorological terms, wind direction is always described based on where it comes from, not where it is going.
The wind coming from the south and heading north is called a southerly wind.
If the wind is coming from the north and moving to the south, then it would be called a "northerly" wind. Likewise, if it is coming from the south, it would be a "southerly" wind. why? is there a reasond?
South east
Wind direction is reported from the direction it is coming from.. if wind is blowing toward the northwest, this is said to be a south easterly wind direction and so on. hope that helps
The reference point is FROM that direction AND that is the way it is blowing.

The wind is blowing from the south-southwest (SSW) at a speed of 10 miles per hour. This indicates the direction the wind is coming from, in this case roughly in between the south and southwest directions. The number represents the wind speed in miles per hour.
Northerly, southerly etc indicate the direction the wind is flowing FROM not to. A wind flowing from south to north is a Southerly wind.
When you name a wind. You name it in the direction it is coming from, so a wind blowing toward the north comes from the south. It is therefore a South Wind.

In meteorological terms, "n10-20" would indicate that the wind is coming from the north and blowing towards the south. The "n" stands for "north" and the numbers indicate the wind speed range in knots.
