land breeze

A coastal breeze blowing from land to sea. Land breezes, which normally blow at night, are caused by a temperature difference when the sea surface is warmer than the adjacent land.

Land breezes alternate with sea breezes, which blow inland during the day when the sea surface temperature is cooler than the land.
