A sea breeze is a familiar accompaniment to a warm, sunny day on the coast. In this video, we look in detail at the physical processes involved in how sea breezes form, how they can move inland due to the shape of the coast and the type of weather that happens when sea breezes collide.

Because this is an in-depth video, links to supporting videos that cover some of the concepts discussed will appear at appropriate times.
