Best Answer

Liquid water of any sort has a huge heat capacity relative to air; that is, it must absorb a great deal of heat to show a slight increase in temperature. As a result, changes in air temperature are very slow to impact the temperature of large bodies of water such as an ocean, or even a large lake.
