For those interested in these things, I have just been looking back through
my recent weather recordings for last Saturday (25th Aug 2007) and I've just
noticed what the effects of the arrival of an unusually 'late-in-the-day'
sea breeze had on temperature, and of course, wind direction. The sea breeze
here is normally very persistent on warm, sunny days blowing almost
continuously from a SSE direction at between 8-10 mph. This one was a little
feeble but it still managed to drop the temperature quite quickly, though
obviously aided by the lowering of the sun in the sky.
