Detailed explanation-1: -Large bodies of water, such as oceans, seas and large lakes, can affect the climate of an area. Water heats and cools more slowly than landmasses. Therefore, the coastal regions will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, thus creating a more moderate climate with a narrower temperature range.
Detailed explanation-2: -As such, sand gets heated or cooled more rapidly as compared to water under the similar conditions. Thus a large difference in temperature is developed between the land and the sea due to which land and sea breezes are formed. These breezes make the climate near the sea shore moderate.
Detailed explanation-3: -How does it affect the temperature of coastal areas in the N.W. Europe ? Currents affect the temperature directly. The warm currents raise and the cold currents lower the temperature of the neighbouring islands.
