Answer

Periodic winds are the seasonal winds that reverse their direction with season. These winds blow at regular intervals or in regular cycles.

These winds develop as a result of variation in local temperature, pressure and humidity. Their origin is attributed to formation of air currents, crossing mountain ranges, valleys and physical barriers.
