Wind direction is measured in degrees, similar to reading a compass, and is reported as the direction the wind is blowing FROM. East = 90 degrees South = 180 degrees West = 270 degrees North = 360 degrees For example, if the wind direction is 45 degrees, the winds are coming out of the northeast and blowing towards the southwest. This would be called a northeasterly wind.
