A sea breeze is a local wind that occurs during the day when the sun heats the land faster than the ocean. As the land warms up, the air above it rises, creating a low-pressure area. Cooler air from the ocean then moves in to replace the rising warm air, resulting in a gentle breeze that blows from the sea toward the land. Sea breezes are common in coastal areas and can help moderate temperatures, making them cooler and more comfortable during hot days. This phenomenon is often stronger in the summer when the temperature difference between the land and the ocean is greater.
