The ocean's temperature controls the land temperature. If there is a warm current by the land, then it gets a moist, warm climate whereas if it were to get a cold current it would lead a drier climate. It takes longer for the ocean's temperature to change compared to land, and so the temperature range over the year will be less for a coastal city than for an inland city.
An example is Vancouver on the Pacific Ocean in Canada. Its temperature range over a year is smaller than an inland city which does not have water to 'insulate' it. For Vancouver, the range is -9°C to 27°C over a year, compared to interior locations of Canada that can range from -40°C to 35°C.

∙ 11y agoCities near the sea coast have a cool climate . The sun shines on both land and sea in coastal areas.the temperature of land rises faster than the temperature of water.The air above the land gets heated up and hot air rises. So cold air from the sea starts blowing towards the land.This is called sea breeze.
Thus, due to sea breeze the cities near coastal regions experience a cool climate.

∙ 10y agoBecause of its high specific heat, it takes longer far water to get heated up or to get cooled. During summer days, the land near the sea gets heated up quickly but the sea water remains cool and thus, cool breeze blowing from the sea reduces the heat in the adjoining land area. The reverse happens in winter. The land gets cooled quickly but the sea water remains warm and thus, the land gets warm breeze from the sea. But the land farther inside does not have this advantage. This account for the difference in the climatic conditions.

∙ 12y agoThe calming influence of water! Large bodies of water usually have a calming influence on a region's climate. Compare, for example, San Diego, CA and Topeka, KS. Very different climates. To an extent, this phenomenon is related to water's ability to store energy very well; it's very hard to heat or cool water.

∙ 11y agoBecause the water evaporates into the air, causing the water cycle to function better and for rain and other weather events to happen. In an area not near a body of water, the climate is often dry and thus the water cycle does not work as well.

Are coastal areas colder in inland in the northeast?
No. Coastal areas are generally warmer in the northeast than inland areas. Generally, the further inland you go, the colder it becomes in the winter.
Type of current that creates warmer climates along a coastal area?
The type of current that creates warmer climates along coastal areas is called (Warm-Water)
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.
How does the climate of turkey's coastal areas differ from that of it's steppes?
Due to formation of mountains it varies so different. Coastal areas are warmer even during the winter, for example west side of Turkey, biggest city İzmir, doesnt get hit by snow. However you can drive in for an hour to the east you can see snow a lot at the same time.
Which areas are affected by chemical weathering?
coastal areas
Why nights are warmer in coastal regions?
Coastal regions tend to have higher levels of humidity, which can trap heat and prevent it from dissipating as easily as in inland areas. The presence of large bodies of water, like oceans, can also influence the temperature by moderating the climate and keeping temperatures relatively stable. Additionally, the ocean releases heat absorbed during the day, contributing to warmer nights along the coast compared to inland areas.
Do coastal areas get warmer at night?
nights are warmer in coastal areas because the water cools down more slowly than land. so the cool air from the land moves towards the sea which makes the nights in coastal areas warmer.
Are coastal areas colder in inland in the northeast?
No. Coastal areas are generally warmer in the northeast than inland areas. Generally, the further inland you go, the colder it becomes in the winter.
Are coastal areas in the northeast colder than inland areas?
No. Coastal areas are generally warmer in the northeast than inland areas. Generally, the further inland you go, the colder it becomes in the winter.
Type of current that creates warmer climates along a coastal area?
The type of current that creates warmer climates along coastal areas is called (Warm-Water)
Could hurricanes happen in Utah?
No. Hurricanes can only happen in coastal areas with warmer climates.
Why do most people in Greenland live in coastal areas?
The climate is milder near the coast.
How does wind effect Coastal areas?
Wind can have a variety of effects on coastal areas, including erosion of coastal cliffs and dunes, creation of large waves and storm surges that can cause flooding and damage to infrastructure, and influencing weather patterns by bringing in moisture from the ocean. Wind can also impact maritime activities such as sailing and fishing.
Are coastal areas in the northeast are colder than the inland areas?
answer: yes TRUE whoever ask super Heather and Jenet and Jade.

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.
Is the water in Spain warm?
Spain is a HUGE country so no, it is not warm all year. Southern Spain is much warmer than Northern Spain and the coastal areas are much warmer in winter than inland and the coastal areas are cooler in Summer. At night time in the winter temperature are anything but warm......however areas such as the Costa del Sol, Southern Spain truly do have many more warmer days than cooler ones.
