  1. prevailing westerly

    Prevailing westerlies are the winds in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude, blowing predominantly from the west to the east. These winds are called "westerlies" due to their western origin and are the result of air pressure differences between the poles and tropics. They play a significant role in conveying weather patterns and are stronger and more consistent during the winter season and at higher altitudes.
