During summer, if you go near the lake, you feel relief from the heat, why?

Solution

The air on the surface of the lake is cooler in summers:

  1. During the day, the air over the land heats up, rises, and generates a low-pressure zone.
  2. Lake water does not heat up as quickly as ocean water.
  3. It cools down as the water evaporates from its surface.
  4. As a result, the air above the lake's surface is cooler.
  5. It goes towards the land where there is a low-pressure area.
  6. As a result, a refreshing wind blows from the lake to the neighboring places during the day.
