cooling breezes

Pleasant air currents

Cooling breezes are gentle winds that lower temperature or provide relief from heat.

The phrase appears in weather reports, travel writing, and real estate listings to evoke comfort: The patio catches the cooling breezes off the lake.

It's often a stock phrase suggesting pleasant conditions rather than describing specific meteorological phenomena.
