Seasons affect surface winds by creating temperature differences between land and ocean. During summer, land heats up faster than the ocean, causing the air above it to rise, creating low pressure. This draws in moist air from the ocean, leading to onshore winds. In winter, the reverse occurs as the land cools faster than the ocean, creating high pressure and offshore winds.
Cyclonic winds in the Southern Hemisphere spiral in a clockwise direction.
No shift at all.
its called a monsoon
Monsoon winds are seasonal prevailing winds that bring significant rainfall to Asia during the summer months. Typically originating from the Indian Ocean, these winds shift direction due to the differential heating of land and sea, resulting in moist air being drawn inland. As the air rises over the Asian landmass, it cools and condenses, leading to heavy rainfall, particularly in regions like India and Southeast Asia. This rainfall is crucial for agriculture and water supply in these areas.

which wind system reverses its direction seasonally
The prevailing winds that reverse direction with changing seasons are called monsoons. They bring heavy rainfall and are common in parts of Asia, Australia, and Africa.
