How does wind influence the weather? lets start by going to the begining,first,winds are caused by the earth spining on its axis,while doing so winds at the equater tends to push westwards,winds in both north and southern hemisphere of the planet tends to move in an eastward direction.
There are many other types of influencies which are cuased by different things,such as day time heating,which heats up the land,and causes the air above to heat up and so it rises and is then replace by cooler air,this is exactly what happen when a thunder storm is form during the summer months,as a localize low is produce.as the system grow you may have probably experience a feel of cooler air rushing towards,the storm,this is refferd to as an updraft,as air is being suck in,which offcourse aid in development of the storm,or localize event.
Other effect by the wind can be seen in the tropics(such trade winds),such as relief rainfall which occures any were,were there are mountains that stand in its way,as the air approches, it has to rise, by doing so, it cools form clouds and fall as rain after condensation.(relief rain fall also occures in the pacific north west of the American continent and other places of the planet).
One major influence by winds can be seen in India,were the imense heating of the land causes a large low pressure area to develope over the land( south western AISA), during the mid summer months,which brings heavy rain fall to that continent,or country,which by the way holds the record for being the wettest place on earth. Winds also influence the weather by moderating the tempreture,for example;in the caribbean were am from,northeast trade wind give the islands a more faverable tempreture,if your on the coast.
But wind in general aid in the development of our weather by carring, rain to snow storms to dust storm in the deserts of the world to even waves hitting the beach.
It can also confirm if a storm is coming,but that may be too late.

The wind direction tells you where the air now around you has come from.
If you are experiencing a wind from the south, it is bringing wind from the south.
I live in the UK and occasionally southerly winds bring sand from the Saraha.
If the wind has travelled over a continent, it is usually dry (low humidity) If it has travelled over an ocean, it is usually moist and in winter the sea is warmer than land.
Sudden cooling of moist warm air as it travels over cold land can produce fog.

Wind is the movement of air from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area. When you have a stationary low system, winds usually swirl around it.
You can tell that weather is about to change if you feel a shift in the wind.

there is so much to wind. depending on the level in the atmosphere, speed and directions, many weather variables such as temperature or conditions can change.
i recommend searching on meteorology sites so you can get thorough answers and get an A
