I could swear I knew the answer in grade 5 and no longer remember but like at what point is it one step to the right and no wind and suddenly wind a step further. Like rain starts from the clouds (and I assume thunder too) but what about wind.

It's easier to think about it in terms of where is the wind going.

Air moves into adjacent regions that have lower pressure. It begins everywhere but is moving towards these areas of lower pressure.
