May be my answer is not perfect but it is usually due to specific heat of water and land. The sand gets much hot than land in summer days and is too much cold at night it is due to specific heat of sand :)

During the summer in one (Northern/Southern) hemisphere of the globe, the other is in winter. As such, a hot summer day is a localized event on the scale of the globe.

Also, the effect of evaporation of water is counteracted by rain elsewhere on the globe. For the oceans, this leads to a stable water level, tidal forces notwithstanding.

Also, for rivers and lakes, the hot day still does not put enough energy into rivers to cause evaporation needed to cause the river to fully dry. Given a drought, a lake can eventually dry up due to evaporation.

Why does see breezes occur during day but not night?

Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean. Now, recall that warmer air is lighter than cooler air.

What occurs when water is left outside during a summer day and it disappears?
