Sea Breeze

Sea breeze usually develops under fine weather and light wind conditions. At the Hong Kong International Airport, the onset of sea breeze is typically characterized by winds turning westerly over the western part of the airport. With prevailing easterly winds blowing in the background, significant windshear may develop along the runways.
