The first and the most important thing to remember: wind direction is always determined by where the wind is blowing FROM, not where it is blowing towards.

The directions of the wind is determined at the geographical system of coordinates invented by man back in the day. It is also called "cardinal directions" or "cardinal points" and similar.

It is interesting that in the Ancient Greece, the cardinal directions were also identified by the different winds. They were Boreas from the north, Notos from the south, Eurus from the east, and Zephyrus from the west. They are also known as the "Classical compass winds". Therefore, the concept of wind direction is very closely related to the concept of wind rose.

The wind rose is a graph that shows the prevailing wind direction and wind speed at some particular location according to statistics from many years of meteorological observations (also knows as weather history). So the concept of wind rose is used often precisely in meteorology.

Another word that says the same thing is "compass," a device for determining cardinal directions you know probably from your Scout days.

Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!

Your "Captain" Joe
