maritime climate

A maritime climate refers to weather patterns influenced by proximity to large bodies of water, such as oceans or seas. These areas tend to experience mild temperatures year-round, with cooler summers and warmer winters compared to inland regions. Water heats up and cools down more slowly than land, which moderates temperature swings. Additionally, maritime climates often have higher humidity and more consistent rainfall, creating a relatively stable and moist environment. This climate is common in coastal regions, providing a more temperate and usually comfortable climate compared to continental areas farther inland.
