At the vernal equinox, the Earth's tilt causes the sun to be directly above the equator, leading to more uniform heating of the Earth's surface. This uniform heating results in less temperature variation between regions, which in turn creates pressure differences that cause wind to blow from regions of high pressure to low pressure.
