In the UK, the west wind comes from the Atlantic and passes over the Gulf Stream - so it's normally warm. To the East, on the other hand, there's no high ground between us and the Urals: the airstream is coming straight from Siberia. Hence bitter cold.
Basically, the temperature of a wind depends on what it's passed over. So in other places, east winds might be warm, and west cold.
