Continentality Impact on Climate

In summer, coastlands are relatively cooler than inland areas. This is because the winds bring the cooling effect of the sea to the land, by the time winds reach inland they are heated by warm land resulting in higher temperature over the interior of the land In winter the onshore winds bring the warming effect of the sea into the land causing a rise in temperature. By the time these winds reach the interior of the land, they are cooled by cold land thus enhancing the low temperature Onshore winds cause a lot of rain in the coastal areas throughout the year. This is because the wind picks up moisture over the sea and drop it on the nearby land. The continental interiors receive less rain, mainly in summer, because the winds have dropped mot of the moisture in the coastal lands
