Question

Why do the coastal areas enjoy equable climate?

Solution

Winds move from a high-pressure region to a low-pressure zone. During summers, high pressure develops over the coastal lands, so the cold winds move from the sea to the land, reducing the temperature of the region. The reverse happens in winters when high pressure develops over the sea. This way an equable temperature is maintained in the coastal areas in which sea breeze plays a very important role.
