Wind is nature's way of equalizing between hot and cold. Wind always flows from heat to cool. When night falls, the air cools.

ADDITION; Specifically high and low pressure causes 'gradient wind', spiralling out from high pressure and in to low pressure just like a giant water vortex.

Thermal winds are different, but from the same phenomena, as cold air is more dense so drops, and hotter air rises, so sucking air in at the surface. On a coast (water is colder in the day) this is called 'sea breeze'. Contrary to the original answer it may then be said that the surface air (wind) flows from cold to hot. This reverses at night because the land cools down but the sea stays the same. This is called a 'Katabatic' wind or night breeze, from land to sea.

What is the reverse causality problem in determining cause and effect?

Reverse causality - as the pairing of the words implies - is cause and effect in reverse. That is to say the effectsprecede the cause. The problem is when the assumption is A causes B when the truth may actually be that B causes A.

Why won't my Nissan 240sx go into reverse?

If your Nissan 240sx won't go into reverse, it could be due to several issues. Common causes include a low transmission fluid level, a worn-out clutch, or a problem with the transmission linkage. Additionally, if the transmission itself is damaged or there are internal mechanical issues, this could prevent it from engaging reverse. It's advisable to have a mechanic diagnose the problem to determine the exact cause.
