which way does the fan go in the summer

In the summer, a ceiling fan should spin in a counterclockwise direction. This direction creates a downdraft that pushes air straight down, generating a cooling breeze that helps evaporate moisture on your skin, making you feel cooler. This is often called the "wind chill effect." To confirm the correct direction, stand under the fan and see if you feel this cooling breeze; if you do, the fan is spinning the right way for summer cooling.
