warm air

Cozy gentle breeze

Warm air is air at a temperature noticeably above cool or cold—comfortable or heated rather than chilly.

The term appears in weather discussions, heating systems, and everyday description: Warm air from the south will bring temperatures into the seventies.

In meteorology, warm air masses and fronts drive weather patterns as they interact with cooler air.
