In the summer, the preferred direction for a ceiling fan to spin in is a counterclockwise direction as you look up at the fan blades. You will feel a cool downward airflow as you stand directly under the fan. In the winter, the preferred direction for a ceiling fan to spin in is a clockwise direction.
What Really Happens. The angle of the fan blades affects the air as the fan turns, no matter which direction the blades rotate. When set for a forward or counter-clockwise motion, the fan blades create a downdraft, forcing air directly down beneath the fan. This causes a windchill effect against you if you're standing nearby.
