What direction does the wind come from during a thunderstorm?
There is no one direction the wind comes from when thunderstorms or tornadoes occur. Where warm moist air is forced to rise by hills, mountains, or areas where warm/cold or wet/dry air bump together, thunderstorms can form. The surface direction of wind varies depending on your location (northern/southern hemisphere, and even coastal/plains/mountains), and what weather patterns usually affect the area.
