1. the coast is greatly affected by the temperature and weather of the ocean. Water has a specific heat greater than earth. It holds more heat in winter and absorbs more heat in summer. Also currents tend to bring warm water to temperate areas thus enhancing the effect ie Kodiak, Ireland, Japan
2. Wind exposure and moisture from the morning dew. We (by the beach) are always 15 - 20 degrees cooler than the inland norm temp during the hotest summer days. (Los Angeles)
3. When a geographical landmass is in Inland, it is far away from the ocean. The oceans are fully windy and Airy as they are nearest to the earth's surface. This is why height of mountains and landmasses are measured as X meters below or above the sea level. Also, when a landmass is near the ocean, it gets affected by Sea Breeze. Also, when near to the ocean, The amount of Humidity is high. In summer, the rate of Evaporation is High and more Humidity exists. Due to this reason coastal geographic regions are normally cooler in the summer than inland geographic regions.
