What are sea breezes and why do they occur? Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean. Now, recall that warmer air is lighter than cooler air.
As a result during day time the land temperature is higher than that of sea, and at nights the sea temperature is higher than that of land. Due to this temperature difference between sea and land, during the day time atmospheric air above land expand more than that above sea.his results in air pressure above land becoming less than that above sea, causing cool air from the sea to blow towards land. At night the temperature of land being lower than that of water. the breeze blows from land to sea.
