light breezes
Soft moving air
Light breezes are gentle winds, barely strong enough to rustle leaves or lift hair.
The phrase suggests pleasant, mild air movement rather than anything forceful: Light breezes carried the scent of jasmine through the open window.
In meteorology, a light breeze is specifically wind between 4 and 7 miles per hour.
