Does the direction of the wind have an effect on temperature, humidity, etc?

Question

We all no that sometimes the wind blows from the North or the West, but does that make a difference on the temperature, or the humidity

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

wind that blows from the sea (a seabreeze) is usually colder than wind that blows from the land

Answer 3

Yes,  an onshore flow brings moister weather than an area coming from a dry source.   And moisture brings rains and evaporation brings cooling.   Weather goes in cycles due to these various processes.

Answer 4

Well yes depending on what kinda climates are where the wind blows from. So like if you live somewhere up north and theres wind coming from the north it will most likely be an arctic wind and will be cool whereas and wind coming from the south will usually be warmer. and wind from the sea withh be cooler and fresher than from the land where it will be gernally warmer. If you live somewhere tropical a wind coming from the direction of the rainforest wuil be humid. So generally the answer to your question is yes.

Answer 5

Yes.Wind normally carries the temperature of the place of origin,getting modified on its way owing to the different surfaces(land or water) over which it is blowing and the wind therefore arrives at a place as a warm or cold current according to the track it has followed.

For example,over a coastal area,the intense heat developed by the solar radiation is moderated by the incursion of moist(more humidity) and cooler(temperature less) current in the form of sea breeze particularly in the afternoon.

The monsoon winds which blow between June and September in India (which is, in fact a sea-breeze on a large scale) comes from south-west and brings lot of moisture(humidity) from the Indian ocean(and Arabian sea).These winds are responsible for the heavy rainfall over India during this period.India would have been another desert if these seasonal winds do not blow.

Answer 6

Yes, wind direction does have an affect on the temperature, humidity, etc. Wind direction is one factor that determines the kind of weather conditions. Think of weather fronts for example. A cold front usually has NW winds. Those winds bring in cold, dry, air. Because of that, the temperature drops, and so does the dew point. A warm front usually has SW winds. Those winds bring in warm, moist air. This allow for a rising temperature and a rising dew point.

Answer 7

yes!  The wind is a major factor in weather change.  It's moves systems  and water vapor to different regions.  example: Warm dry air will cause a warmer temperature and a lower humidity!
