Which is Correct? "Wind" or "Winds"?

Solution 1:

When you're referring to multiple instances of wind occurring, winds can be a correct usage. You wouldn't refer to all the wind on a single breezy day as "winds", but were you describing a windy location you could say "the winds at the castle are cold", because the wind occurs on separate occasions.

Multiple examples of wind of a specific direction or type can also be aggregated as "winds", such as describing wind from the cardinal directions as "the four winds".

Also, we do say things like Snows or Rains. Pop culture examples include "The Rains of Castamere" and "I bless the rains down in Africa" and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" - again it refers to multiple instances.
