In summer, coastlands are relatively cooler than in land 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
