Is marble colder than room temperature?
Marble is a 'stone' it is a natural material quarried from the earth in various locations. Therefore, marble is the temperature of 'its environment'. When it comes from the ground in the winter time in North Dakota it is much below 'room temperature'. However, if marble is resting on your counter-top in your kitchen over night without any other human interference , it is most likely 'at room temperature' . Just guessing, but maybe you are referring to use of marble in cooking/baking parlance ? If so, it overs a large smooth surface that acts as a cooling / or stable temperature for rolling dough [or kneading with hands] and in this case the marble would be cooler than your hands and held pastry dough maintain its workability as you kneaded it.

Tornadoes often found in areas where cooler air masses collide with warmer ones. As spring moves into summer temperatures increase and so the optimal zone of temperature contrast moves north into overall cooler regions.
Why is it colder in central Europe than by the sea?
The temperature of the oceans in the winter is warmer than the land. This keeps the air warmer in the surrounding area. I live near rivers and a large sound in North eastern North Carolina, US and the temperature at my house can be 5 to ten degrees warmer than the town 10 miles away. The water also helps keep nearby areas cooler in the summer because then the water is generally cooler then the land.

They are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland.

How cold is the Atlantic ocean in the summer?
That depends on where you are in the Atlantic ocean. In the gulf stream, the temperature can be in the mid 90's(F). Temperatures can even differ several miles apart. In Massachusetts, the water north of Cape Cod is generally in the 70's, but south of the Cape it generally ranges from 75-85 degrees.
