South winds are winds blowing from the south toward the north.
In the Northern Hemisphere, south winds typically bring warmer air; in the Southern Hemisphere, they bring cooler air from polar regions.
The term appears in weather reports, maritime contexts, and poetic descriptions of seasonal change: The south winds arrived and the snow began to melt.
