How do large bodies of water affect the climate of coastal areas?

Ocean currents carry warmer water from the tropics into colder regions. The heat from that warmer water escapes into the atmosphere as it creates warmer, rainier weather than might otherwise be expected.

How do changes in the circulation of ocean currents affect climate?
they cool or warm the coastal areas year-round
What areas of North America would be most vulnerable to climate change?
Areas in North America that would be most vulnerable to climate change are the coastal areas. Mountainous areas would also be vulnerable.
The coastal plains region has a mild climate because of the?
it has mild winters and warm summers. mostly the areas of Karachi and the makran coast have coastal climates
How can water in the atmosphere affect temperature?
The mere presence of water, e.g. a river running through it, does not. But oceanic currents do affect the climate - therefore called the "oceanic climate" - of mostly western coastal areas on the middle latitudes of the globe and the cities located there. The Gulf Stream for instance gives the cities in western Europe a temperate climate. Similar currents make for instance the west Canadian coastal city of Vancouver the warmest of Canada.
What areas located along the Central American coast has a tropical climate and plenty of rain?
The coastal inlands.
How do oceans or seas affect the climate of coastal areas?
One of the many ways in which the oceans affect the climate of coastal areas is by buffering temperature. Water holds heat better than air- it takes longer to heat up and cool down. Because of this, areas near the water tend to have more stable temperatures than those farther away.
How does sea affect the climate of coastal areas?
Places near the sea or ocean are ussually cooler than places further inland.
Why do places in coastal areas have cooler climate?
Bodies of water have a modifying effect on weather. In the summer, coastal land stays cooler and in the winter, coastal areas stay warmer. This is a result of water's large heat capacity.
What is the climate in the coastal areas in North Africa?
