A Local wind is a small-scale wind produced by a locally generated pressure gradient. Some example: Sea breeze, mountain breeze, valley breeze.

Local differences in temperature and air pressure create small-scale,regional or localised winds.These are called local winds.The variations in temperature and pressure occur particularly  in coastal regions,and mountain ranges or because of intense heating in inland desert areas.

Answer 4

I agree with Dianamrt.  However, there are local winds that have a name.  One is called a mountain wave that suddenly appears out of a clear blue sky near Brocket, Alberta and the Peigan Reserve.  It is awesome and lasts about 20 -30 minutes. If the local people have a name for it, I don't know it.  Another is experienced on the west shore of Cape Breton Island and is called (I'll use phonetics, because I don't know how to spell it) soowit. That's all I can think of as far as a local name is concerned.
