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 wind vane measure wind direction. It doesn't measure wind speed, it tells which direction the wind is coming from and which direction it is currently blowing.
Wind speed and wind direction are related in that wind speed is the rate at which air moves in a particular direction. Wind direction indicates the compass direction from which the wind is blowing. Higher wind speeds typically indicate stronger winds blowing in a consistent direction.
The reference point is FROM that direction AND that is the way it is blowing.
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.
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 wind would be blowing from the northwest.
The direction from which the wind is mainly blowing from.

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
A wind vane tells you which direction the wind is blowing and an anemometer tells you the speed the wind is blowing.
sand dunes important in tornadoes as when the tornadoes come the high pressure wind take it to the direction where the wind is blowing
