Meteorologists describe the wind direction as the direction from which the wind is blowing.
Also, when describing wind direction, meteorologists like to assign a number to the various directions. These numbers are in units of degrees. To assist in your understanding of this concept, take a look at a plot showing the various compass points and their corresponding numerical values as they are assigned by meteorologists and oceanographers. Those folks that are residents of coastal communities, such as Lake Worth, FL, Miami, FL and Savannah, GA, expect to feel a cool breeze coming off of the water on a hot, summer day. This cool breeze is the sea breeze.
