Because 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.
I live in Land O'Lakes, whose closest beach is 35-40 minutes away. Where my cousin lives, it's only 5 minutes away. In Land O'Lakes, it's 95ºF in summer while it's 85ºF in largo. In winter, it's 50ºF in largo while it's 40ºF in Land O'Lakes.

DeleteThanks, that's a great answer.
ReplyDeletecan u please simplify it little more?
ReplyDeleteThanks I have me the answer to my homework imma get a 100% for u
ReplyDeleteThanks for this please describe ocean current
ReplyDeleteWhy would air blow from sea to land in winter. Air above sea is hot so should rise up and air should have flown from land to sea
ReplyDeleteIt is because the air rising from the ocean or water contain more water vapor which means its kinetic energy to lift up reduces which in turn affects the air circulation nearby.... I.e in short it is also know to be as anomalous behaviour or h2o
