How will a wind blowing to the south in the north hemisphere be affected?

A wind blowing south in the northern hemisphere would be deflected to the west due to the Coriolis effect. This deflection is caused by the rotation of the Earth, which makes winds in the northern hemisphere veer to the right. So, ultimately, the wind blowing south would end up flowing in a southwesterly direction.
