A Westerlies
B Easterlies
Permanent winds: The trade winds, westerlies and easterlies are the permanent winds. These blow constantly throughout the year in a particular direction.
Seasonal winds change their direction in different seasons. Eg: Monsoons in India.
Local winds blow only during a particular period of the day or year in a small area. Loo which is a hot and dry wind that blows across the northern plains of India is an example of local winds.
