How does the direction of the winds affect the temperature of a place?

Expert Answer

Since the lower latitudes are warmer than the higher latitudes, the winds blowing from lower latitudes to higher latitudes increase the temperature of the higher latitudes.

The winds blowing from the oceans carry moisture and cause rainfall on land when they strike the mountains. This results in the lowering of the temperature of a place.

Therefore, the direction of winds affects the temperature of a place.
