Offshore wind
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007674
Wind blowing from land towards a body of water, such as a sea or large lake. This wind often develops due to temperature differences between the land and water, particularly at night when land cools faster than water. Offshore winds can influence coastal weather patterns and marine conditions.
