 A wind that blows to the north in the northern hemisphere will be affected by the coriolis effect and the wind will slowly start to change it's direction to the right, or better said to the east. So instead of having a wind with south-north movement, southern wind, we will come to a situation when we will have wind moving either moving in southwest-northeast direction or west-east direction, thus having southwestern or western wind.
