QuestionHow to know clockwise and anti-clockwise wind directions?
Upnorth HereTop AnswererAs a general rule, wind around a high-pressure system flows clockwise and around a low-pressure weather system flows anti-clockwise. If the wind is at your back, the "high" pressure is generally to your right. -
QuestionWhat do we call wind facing south

QuestionThere might be an error in the method 3, part 2. Doesn't an anemometer just tell you the speed of the wind? How can you tell the wind direction with spinning cups?
DonaganTop AnswererYes, the drawing in that method is misleading. In order to indicate wind direction, anemometers will typically employ a vane or "tail."
