Definition
Differential heating draws air onshore during the day, typically setting in mid to late morning and reaching 10 to 15 knots, sometimes more, and extending perhaps 10 to 20 nautical miles offshore before dying in the evening. Coriolis effect causes it to veer through the afternoon in the Northern Hemisphere. The reverse land breeze at night is much weaker, usually under 10 knots, and confined close inshore.
