To this circumstance, in combination with the low temperature of the ocean water and the direction of the prevailing winds, is due the remarkable development of the sea- breeze, without exception the most important meteorological fea- ture of the Peruvian Coast. Several graphic representations are appended to show the dominance of the sea-breeze (see wind roses.
