What is the direction of wind indicated by wind barbs? Ep. 2 of the Windy Academy says that the shaft of wind barbs in the Meteogram point in the direction “the wind is blowing from.” I believe this is wrong, the barbs point in the direction the wind is blowing TO.

i’m just pointing out that the explanation in that episode of the Windy Academy is confusing and could use better definition. Seems like the explanation was not given much thought. Also, wind symbols used by FAA weather forecasting do not have circles. Isn’t there standard symbology and definitions that everyone ought to be using?
