Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 37:9

9. Out of the south cometh the whirlwind : and cold out of the north.

Heb. out of the inner Chamber; as the Southern part of the World is called, because in a great part it was, and is hid and unknown to those who live in the Northern Hemisphear, in which Iob's habitation lay; Or, out of the Chambers of the South, as it is more largely expressed, Iob 9. 9. for this is opposed to the North in the following Clause.

Violent and stormy Winds: which in those parts most frequently came out of the South, whence they are called whirlwinds of the South, Zech. 9. 14. So also Isa. 21. 1.

i. e. Cold and freezing winds, which generally come from that quarter.
