The westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from the west to the east in the middle latitudes (between 30 and 60 degrees latitude). They are responsible for moving weather systems across the United States from west to east. The polar easterlies blow from the east to the west in the polar regions. The trade winds blow from the east to the west in the tropics. The doldrums are a belt around the Earth near the equator where there is very little wind.
