Lightning hotspot: is a geographic location where there is a higher frequency of lightning activity compared to surrounding areas.

Coastal breeze: is the movement of air from the ocean to the land (onshore breeze) or from the land to the ocean (offshore breeze). The direction of the breeze is determined by the temperature difference between the land and the water.
