For example, a northerly wind blows from the north to the south. Wind direction is usually reported in cardinal directions or in azimuth degrees. For example, a wind coming from the south is given as 180 degrees; one from the east is 90 degrees.
COOLroom scientists name winds based on the direction the wind is coming from. So, if someone in the COOLroom says that there is a Southwest wind blowing, they mean that the wind is coming from that direction. So, a Southwest wind comes from the Southwest, and is moving towards the Northeast. If you want to use degrees instead, a Southwest wind direction equals 225 degrees. So, a wind direction of 225 degrees means that the wind is coming from the 225 degree position of the compass, and is moving towards the opposite direction, or 180 degrees away. If you subtract 180 from 225, you are left with 45 degrees (225  180 = 45).
