In which season is the land breeze most likely to occur?

The land breeze is most likely to occur in winter. During this season, the temperature difference between the land and the sea is often more pronounced. At night, the land cools down rapidly while the water retains heat longer. This creates an area of higher pressure over the cooler land and lower pressure over the relatively warmer sea. As a result, the air moves from the land towards the sea, creating a land breeze.

In comparison, during other seasons like spring and summer, the temperature disparities between land and water tend to be less in the evening and at night, resulting in weaker or less frequent land breezes. Autumn can also exhibit similar patterns, but winter typically has the most significant temperature gradients that favor the development of a land breeze.
