Solution

Instructions:
  1. Define Climate
  2. Humidity near coastal areas
Explanation:
The average weather condition of a place observed over a long period of time is the ‘climate’ of that region. Climate is generally expressed as ‘cool and dry’ ‘hot and humid’ or ‘hot and dry, etc.

The air that has a greater amount of vapor is called humid air. The humidity in the atmosphere is called moisture. Since the proportion of moisture in the atmosphere depends on temperature and the air near the coastal areas has fewer variations in terms of temperature the higher temperatures hold a greater amount of moisture and make the climate of coastal regions humid.
