Think of wind as a proxy of solar.

When the sun is out, it’s heating the earth. When clouds cover a region, they don’t get the heat.

Then, through the process of osmosis, the pressure system moves from high to low, and the temperature equalizes via wind.

At night there is no heating taking place
