Also on prevailing wind direction, I would think.  Much oversimplified wind
directions on my west-to-east rotating planet, for example:

+90  Calm (polar high)
     Northeast
+60  Calm (polar front)
     Southwest
+30  Calm (subtropical high, "horse latitudes")
     Northeast ("trade winds")
  0  Calm (intertropical convergence zone, "doldrums")
     Southeast
-30  Calm (subtropical high)
     Northwest
-60  Calm (polar front)
     Southeast
-90  Calm (polar high)
