Is the wind direction where the wind is travelling to or where it is travelling from?

Answer:
Wind direction is where the wind has travelled from. So for example, if a wind of 5mph was coming from the south west there would be a 5mph south west wind. You could also describe this as a south westerly Force 2 Light Breeze using the Beaufort scale.
