As Fizou said, look under: Menu - Conditions and it will have Weather, temperature, Ground Conditions and Wind.  The Wind will give direction and strength. Example: Light from North.  (In CMSF & CMA the Conditions have the category: Civilian Density which effects unconventional operations.  CMBS has Electronic Warfare)

In your screenshot the compass/direction finder has you looking north at 12 noon.  The wind is blowing east to west.  Not sure of the wind strength from the screenshot but it will say under menu - conditions.

I´d say "coming from north-east"

I'd agree, with the added possibility of east-northeast. The only way to tell for sure is to view it from directly overhead, like view 6 or 7. But checking Conditions in Menu like MOS suggested should tell you what you want to know.
