Coastal areas warmer in winter than inland?
In the winter the sea is warmer than the land. Warm breezes from the sea move towards the land. Areas further from the sea hardly get these warm breezes, and therefore remain cold.
Why are bodies of water sometimes warmer than the temperature on land?
Water is slower to absorb and release heat than the surrounding area. That is why water is typically cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. A lot of this also depends on the geogrpahy of the area.
When you live near the ocean are summers cooler and winters warmer?
Yes the proximity of the Ocean, which changes temperature very little (as compared to land) between summer and winter, means that the air coming off the ocean remains at a lower temperature than inland air during the summer and warmer than inland air during the winter.
What is colder air in land or air in sea?
that's a very vague question. I'll try my best to answer it. First it depends where at you're talking about. At the Equator Air on land is colder than at sea. But as you go to either poles the water tends to get colder than the air on land.
When is a land breeze likely to occur?
When the sea is warmer than the land
Why is the west coast of the US warmer in winter then the east coast?
On the West Coast the air moves from the Pacific Ocean to the land. When Winter comes, the water is warmer than the air. Air pushes on the warm water and transports it over the coastal regions, and that warms the climate temperature. then in the Summer the cycle is complete opposite.
Is the west coast warmer than the east coast?
The west coast is milder than the east coast (warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer) because of the California Current that starts from Alaska and runs down the west coast of North America. Gyres and winds that blow from west to east cause this current to happen. Because of this, the ocean moderates temperatures on land (since water has a high specific heat), which is why the west coast never snows in winter and rarely gets above 80 degrees in summer.
Is it warmer than in inland or than coast?
Land heats fast and cools faster than sea. On hot sunny day, land is hotter. on cold windy night, coast is hotter.
Why do cities on the east coast have warmer climates than cities on the west coast at similar latitudes?
The air has to travel over the land mass warming up as it travels all east side of countries are warmer

Which is warmer in winter Argentina or Porto Algere?
Porto Alegre is warmer than most parts in Argentina during winter
What is always true when there is an ocean breeze?
When there is a land breeze, that means that the land is colder than the water. This occurs in the colder seasons, mainly winter. That is because water heats and cools slower than land. Therefore in the winter, the land cools faster than the water, and the water is warmer. So, the cold air from the land sinks and blows towards the sea.
What is heavier in warmer weather than in winter?
traffic
