Default Sea Breeze convergence.

Thanks for that confirmation - I've been in a head to head on a windsurfing
forum about "sea breezes" for the past couple of years - having lived on the
Coast for quite a few years and observed, all be it, our own "local
conditions" I know that we do have some sort of thermal activity right up to
the end of September.

What is at issue, is the term / definition of Seabreeze and is there a
distinct season - according to some Nautical Weather Handbooks - the
Seabreeze season is only up to mid July!!!

If I may make a point here? :-) I see absolutely no reason why "mid July"
figures in such books. You rightly say conditions may be suitable for sea
breezes until much later in the year, given the right thermal contrast
induced by solar radiation.
