Weather Trivia
Why do showers pop up near big lakes—even on “nice” days?
Large lakes generate lake-breeze boundaries—cooler air over the water flows inland and collides with warmer land air. That convergence zone can focus clouds and even spark isolated showers or thunderstorms on summer afternoons.
Research in Ontario shows lake-breeze fronts can trigger convection; studies around Lake of the Woods also document complex, gusty wind patterns over and near the lake.
