The winds characterized by blowing in the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere from the northeast are known as the Westerlies. The westerlies are the prevailing winds from the west that move toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30-60 deg. latitude. The Westerlies come from high-pressure zones in the horse latitude, and they move towards the poles steering cyclones in this manner.
