Summer onshore wind Air moves from high air pressure to low air pressure. Sea absorbs and loses heat more slowly than land. When it's in summer, land absorbs heat more fastly than sea and the difference of temperature between the land and the sea creates monsoon wind.Monsoon wind blows from the sea to the land and brings mositure in sea and rainfall to the coastal area.It's called summer onshore wind. Winter offshore wind When it's winter,because sea loses heat more slowly than land so the sea surface is warmer than land and so wind moves from land to sea. It brings a dry and cold climate to the coastal area.It's winter offshore wind. P.S.Those are the situations of China only,I am not sure whether other places have the same situation.
