These offshore winds tend to be very strong and associated with high fire hazard. First, our offshore winds are a local example of a general class of winds that occurs worldwide in simililar conditions. Hot, dry wind that flows outward from a region of high pressure dynamically produced over a region of elevated topography. Because they are hot, dry and strong and occur after six months of dryness. Coming from the hot continent.
Relative humidity decreases due to the air warming while sinking.
Using the diagram in the reader about the whaether or hot air balloon we learned how the air inside the balloon expands as it rises eventually to the point where the pressure is so great that it pops the balloon. When an air parcel finds itself warmer than surrounding parcels of air, it will spontaneously rise. High dew point helps make air unstable. Dew point temperature maps cans show areas likely to be unstable. Air that is lifted is cooled but not as cool as the air around it, and it rises.
