  1. Day rain night no rain. It's not that simple weather patterns follow the invisible lines by High Pressure and Low Pressure boundries.  More day time rain happens because of daytime heating causing clouds to form from the evaporating water vapor in the air close to the ground and condensing in the cooler high atmosphere.  The cycle of evaporation ->condensation ->precipitation.  At night the heating of the atmosphere is reduced due to the lack of sunlight and therefore reduces the amount of evaporation available in the atmosphere for condensation.   Therefore,  daylight rain seems to be more previlant than nighttime rain.  But, ultimately rain can occur as often at night as it would durring daylight hours it's just a matter of the weather pattern your in and the saturation of water vapor in the air.


  2. Unequal heating of air over land and water results in breezes near shorelines. While the land is warm during the day, air above it rises, and a cool breeze blows in from the sea. As the land cools off at night, air pressure over it increases, and a cool land breeze blows out to the sea.

  3. There's plenty of moisture for condensation and rain both day and night in Florida, but in the daytime the land heats up more than the ocean, you get a sea breeze from both the Atlantic and Gulf which converges over Florida and builds up clouds and thunderstorms.  When the sun goes down the sea breeze dies, no more convergence and no more rain.
