| The prevailing winds include northeast and southeast trade winds above and below the equator, prevailing westerlies near the middle latitudes, and polar easterlies near the poles. The winds are named for the direction from which they blow; for example, the northeast trade wind blows in the northern hemisphere from the east toward the west. | ||||||
