You could use a weather vane
A weather vane shows the direction the wind is blowing from.
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
If the wind is blowing in you face, then the center of the hurricane is to your right.
wind vane
The direction you are facing has no bearing on the direction the wind is blowing. It can come from any where.
A weather vane is an instrument that moves to show the direction from which the wind is blowing. It typically consists of a rotating arrow or pointer that aligns itself with the wind direction.
it points into the wind. wind direction is referenced so that if you face the direction the metiorologist says the wind is, it will hit you in the face. ie.. 10kts @ 040 (or north east), if you turn to the north east, the wind will be blowing in your face.
The reference point is FROM that direction AND that is the way it is blowing.
Depends on what you mean by observation. There are instruments that measure wind velocity, There are wind socks that show if the wind is blowing and what direction.
A weather vane shows the direction the wind is blowing from.
When we measure wind direction, we go by the direction it is blowing out of. If we have 315. 360-45 = 315 which on a compass is NW. This wind we are talking about here is out of the NW. It would then be blowing SE.
It shows the direction where the wind is coming from. Like the North, South, East or west. Weather vane or wind vane does not measure anything, it just shows the direction the wind is out of, a wind monitor measures the force the wind is blowing, in mph or kph. Wind vanes indicate wind direction and when this information is recorded, describes the direction FROM which the wind is blowing. Wind vanes measure the direction in which the wind is blowing. anemometer The direction the wind is blowing from. So it measures wind direction.
When someone says the wind direction is south, it means the wind is blowing from the south towards another direction.
The wind would be blowing from the northwest.

The direction from which the wind is mainly blowing from.
