If you stand with your back to the wind, the low pressure area would be in front of you, in the direction from where the wind is coming. In meteorology, wind flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. When you stand with your back to the wind, you are facing the opposite direction of the wind, which means the wind is blowing from behind you. Therefore, the low pressure area is in the direction from which the wind is coming, which is in front of you when you stand with your back to the wind.
