How is this possible?
OK, let's say you're heading north when you leave the apartment.

Make a right turn, you're heading east.

A left turn, you're heading north again.

Another right, you're going east again.


SO - obviously, the wind is coming from the northeast. - rotate the directions based on your exact circumstance.
