Winds are named for the direction they blow from. This means that a “north wind” would blow from the north, and a “west wind” would blow from the west.

Which way does the wind blow?

While watching the weather report you will hear something like, “we have a north wind today.” This does not mean that the wind blow towards the north, but the opposite. The north wind is from the north and blows toward the south. A wind wane (风向标) is used to measure (衡量) wind speed and show direction. It would point to the north when there is a north wind.

Does the wind ever blow from the east?

Of course, it depends on where you live and whether you are talking about global (全球的) or local winds. The winds on Earth travel in many directions and are dependent on proximity (临近) to the equator (赤道). If you are in the United States, you might meet an east wind. It’s common that the winds that cross the US come from the west.
