Differences in air temperature - creates air currents, as cold air moves to replace warm air (which rises). The movement of the air is what we feel as wind.
It Depends on the weather, if it is warm out side the wind is going to be warm or it could be cold if it is a strong wind and if it is cold out side the wind usually is cold but on a stormy day the wind is warm.
When warm water meets cold wind two distinct weather patterns can occur. First the water can cool the air creating a decrease in temperature. In this case the air is cooled by the evaporation of the warm water and the wind carries it away. Second the wind can act as a barrier preventing the warm water from cooling the air. The warm water is trapped by the cold wind causing a rise in temperature. In the first case warm water cools the air creating a decrease in temperature. In the second case the wind acts as a barrier trapping the warm water and causing a rise in temperature.
When a rapidly moving cold air mass overtakes a slow-moving warm air mass, it results in the formation of a cold front. This process typically leads to the lifting of the warm air, causing it to cool and condense, which can produce clouds and precipitation, often resulting in thunderstorms. The cold front's passage is usually marked by a noticeable drop in temperature and a shift in wind direction.
When a warm air mass advances under a cold air mass, it typically leads to a phenomenon known as a warm front. As the warm air rises over the denser, colder air, it cools and can lead to cloud formation and precipitation. This process often results in gradual temperature increases and can produce widespread, steady rain as the warm air is lifted. The transition is generally characterized by a shift in wind direction and changes in humidity.

Warm air rises over cold air when a warm and cold front connect.

Not directly. When a cold air mass plows into a warm air mass it produces a cold front. Thunderstorms can form along cold fronts. Given a few other conditions these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
The process of cool air trying to replace warm air creates convection currents, where warm air rises and cool air sinks. This creates a cycle of air movement that helps distribute heat more evenly in a space.

Warm air moving over a cold air mass will produce a temperature inversion, where the air temperature increases with height instead of decreasing. This can lead to stable atmospheric conditions, with potential for fog, haze, and reduced vertical air movement.
Air tends to travel from regions of high pressure to low pressure, so it can move from warm areas to cold areas or vice versa depending on the pressure systems in place. Additionally, air temperature differences can create wind patterns that influence the direction of air movement.
The collision of warm and cold air is not the direct cause of a tornado, nor is it absolutely necessary. When a cold air mass pushes into a warm air mass (this is called a cold front) the warmer, less dense air is forced upwards. As the air rises it cools and the moisture in it condenses to form clouds, rain, and thunderstorms. If other factors such as strong wind shear (a change in the wind speed and direction with altitude) are present these storms may begin to rotate. This rotation can then develop into tornadoes.
During spring warm air is moving in, but cold air is still present. When storm systems develop they produce collisions between these warm and cold air masses, resulting in thunderstorms. These storms can then produce tornadoes.
