Were does wind come from

Wind comes from a change in the air pressure. In these situations the molecules from an area of high pressure will quickly move towards an area of low pressure to form equilibrium between the two; it is this movement of the molecules that we know as wind. Different types of wind are caused by differences in air pressure; areas of high pressure and low pressure which are similar to one another will cause a gentle breeze, while areas of much more extreme change can cause gales or the high winds felt during storms.

Winds coming from different areas can also bring subtle changes. Winds coming from over the sea, for example, will contain a little more moisture than those coming from over land. Wind coming from the north is more likely to feel colder than wind coming from the south.
