The Quran mentions in Quran 81:18:

linking the onset of daylight ("Subh صُّبْحِ") to a breathing-like process. This analogy can be interpreted as a reversal in air movement, which aligns with modern meteorological understanding of sea and land breezes.

Caused by Solar Radiation: After sunrise, the sun heats the land faster than the sea, creating lower pressure over the land and higher pressure over the water. This difference drives winds from the sea toward the land, forming a sea breeze. Reversal at Night: After sunset, the land cools faster, reversing the pressure gradient. The wind flows from the land to the sea, forming a land breeze.

The verse metaphorically likens morning to a "breath," suggesting air movement triggered by sunlight. This connection between sunrise and wind direction is now understood in the context of localized wind systems like sea and land breezes, driven by solar heating. The Quran's analogy predates scientific explanations by centuries, underscoring a striking alignment between Quranic guidance and modern meteorology.
