Pressure pushes air from high pressure region to low pressure region. But planet Earth spins around North-South pole axis. When air comes in motion (we call it wind), non-zero velocity of air results in Coriolis force acting on the air, which deflects the air clockwise (in Northern hemisphere).
If there is area of low pressure, the wind starts to blow towards the center of that area, and being deflected clockwise creates huge spiral conter-clockwise pattern, called cyclone. In the center of the cyclone the pressure is low, and pressure gradient mostly provides centripetal acceleration for air moving in almost circular path.

When the air pressure is high it causes so much disasters. For an example when the atmospheric pressure is dercreased in high places we feel cold. It's a difference in the atmospheric pressure and it effects the climate as well as the speed of wind.
There are three factors which effects the changes in air pressure.
1 Volume
2 Heat or temperature
3 Air particles

Air will flow from high pressure to low pressure. Fluids, including gases naturally want to flow to low pressure areas because the molecules want to be as far away from each other as possible. A low pressure gas has fewer molecules of gas per unit volume than does a high pressure gas. Thus, naturally, you will get flow away from the more "crowded" high pressure into the less "crowded" low pressure. This flow is wind.

The Sun... Uneven heating is from the angle that the Sun;s rays hit the planet at any given time (The Earth rotates), clouds, water temperature, etc, etc.... Yes, the Sun DOES rotate. The spin? ever watch water going down the drain? You need to open a science book, it's very easy to understand and you will get better answers, for the most part, than here... EDIT: In another words, you don't want an answer that is anything other than the one YOU want to see... sorry, no god did it...

I think the wind moves to the direction from higher pressure to lower pressure region.

high barometric pressure keeps the weather conditions,.winds out of the high area...low pressure does the opposite

Always trying to equalize by flowing from high to low.
