Yes, local winds can change at night due to temperature differences causing variations in pressure. During the day, land heats up faster than water, leading to sea breezes; at night, the opposite occurs, creating land breezes. These wind patterns can vary depending on local geography and weather conditions.

Many things effect local wind patterns. The local temperature and how it varies also effect the winds. Temperature variations also affect the local wind patterns.
Due to the high specific heat capacity (the amount of energy it takes to change a substance's temperature) of water, a lake, or a similar body of water would remain cooler than the surrounding land during the day. The warm air over land rises and the cold air over the water rushes in to fill that gap, creating a wind away from the water.During the nighttime, however, a body of water is usually warmer than the surrounding land, so the process is reversed, and the wind blows towards the water.
