Between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres, the prevailing winds are generally from the west, known as the westerlies. These winds blow from the subtropical high-pressure areas toward the poles, influenced by the Coriolis effect, which causes them to curve eastward. This pattern is a key component of the Earth's atmospheric circulation, contributing to weather and climate in these regions.
