Zones closer to the sea are wetter than those away from the sea due to maritime influence. During summer,land surfaces are warmer than sea surfaces so that inland areas are warmer than sea surfaces.During winter,the opposite happens,land surfaces are cooler than sea surfaces so that inland areas areas are cooler than sea surfaces.Winds blowing over the sea pick moisture and shed it as rainfall on the coastal areas. They blow as dry winds further inland causing inland aridity.
