The wind changed (as Ghân-buri-Ghân observed). A fresh southerly wind from the sea - the same that filled the sails of Aragorn's hijacked Corsair ships - scattered the clouds of Sauron's darkness.
If you're looking for a supernatural agent who caused the wind, the obvious candidate would be Manwe (with a little help from Ulmo, perhaps).

(EDIT: x-ed with Inziladun)
