Good weather is associated with high pressure, poor weather with low pressure ind is the horizontal movement of air arising from differences in air pressure.
Winds flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
Winds are characterized by wind speed and direction. Winds are named for the direction they blow from , for example, a westerly wind blows from the west. Horizontal variations in air pressure result from differential heating of air masses near the earth's surface. An air mass will expand when warmed and contract when cooled. Contraction of an air mass results in greater compression of the atmosphere within the air mass and higher air pressures.
