A wind that changes direction with the seasons is known as a seasonal wind or monsoon. Monsoons are characterized by a reversal in wind direction due to differential heating and cooling of land and sea surfaces. They typically bring heavy rainfall during one season and dry conditions during another, impacting various regions around the world, such as South Asia and parts of Africa.
