Counterclockwise in warm weather, clockwise in cold weather. Counter pushes air down, clockwise pushes air up...

It has to go the way it serves you best.
It really does not matter which way it goes. If it is in the window, like the one I have in my kitchen, I have it pull the hot air out of the room during cooking. When I want the room to cool down, I have it blow the cool air in from the outside. With a ceiling fan it is the same. When I want to feel cool, the fan blows the air down from the ceiling, while the windows are closed. When it is cool outside, I have the windows open and the ceiling fan on reverse, thus drawing cool air inside blowing against the ceiling.
Hope this will help you. Stay cool this summer.

It has to spin around like a fan does regardless what time of the year it is. Fans don't care whether it is February or July, they just spin happily no matter what.
You would probably be better off if the fan blew the hot air out from wherever the hot air is, but the fan does not know this, so you have to check it to see.

this is one question that gets asked millions of times... its really up to you. the theroy is air blowing on you makes you feel cooler. in the winter you wouldnt want the air blowing on you (if you have cold winters) so the thought is to move the warm air from the ceiling by blowing up. however.. like in my case atm. my desk is near a wall away from the center of the fan.. so i get more air by the fan blowing up towards the ceiling.. it makes the air move to the walls and down..

Rusty gave you the answer. Runny it up in the cold months pushes the warm air that rises back down into the room

If it's a ceiling fan, no matter what they tell you,
it really doesn't matter.
Moving the air is what does the job.
if it's a window fan, always exhaust.
It gives you control of where you want the moving air.

The way that you want the air to blow on you, put near window or door after it cools down and bingo, you'll get cool.
