If the wind from a hurricane is blowing in your face which way is the hurricane located?
If the wind is blowing in you face, then the center of the hurricane is to your right.
What is the interment that measures the direction wind is blowing?
wind vane
If you are facing south where does the wind come from?
The direction you are facing has no bearing on the direction the wind is blowing. It can come from any where.
How does a wind vane record weather?
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.
What is the relationship between wind speed and wind direction?
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.
Why is it important to know the direction from which the wind is blowing?
Because wind direction is important for alot of things such as sailing,aviation and wind farms. I mean if the wind turbines couldn't face into the wind they'd be very ineffecient. Also if you have wildfires than its life or death if you know the wind currents.

Does wind direction mean the way the wind is blowing or the direction it is coming from?
The reference point is FROM that direction AND that is the way it is blowing.
How do you come to know that the wind is blowing observation?
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.
When the wind direction is 315 from what compass direction is it 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.
What a wind vane measure?
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 that the wind direction today is south does this mean that the wind is blowing toward the south or from the south?
When someone says the wind direction is south, it means the wind is blowing from the south towards another direction.
Does the arrow of a weather vane show the direction the wind is blowing or the way the wind is blowing from?
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.
An upper wind direction is reported at 315 degrees From what compass direction is the wind blowing?
The wind would be blowing from the northwest.
What two variables do sailors look for in the wind?
Typically wind direction and wind speed. However if you use the technical definition of velocity (speed and direction) then wind velocity and it's acceleration are most important. For example, it's great to know that the wind is blowing at 5 knots NE, but if it's steadily increasing, and veering to the south that's important to know too.
What is a prevaling wind?
The direction from which the wind is mainly blowing from.
What unit of measurement does a wind vane measure?
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.
