喜樂美語
  1. 1

    "Westerly" describes wind, direction, or position related to the west. A "westerly wind" blows FROM the west (moving ) - this can be confusing, because most direction words describe where something is going, but wind names describe where they come FROM. You'll also hear "in a westerly direction," meaning heading toward the west, and sailors and pilots use this word often when talking about wind and navigation.
