Answer

Distance from the sea affects the temperature of a place as the sea breeze blowing from the sea towards the land cools the coastal regions during the day. At night, the land breeze makes the sea cooler. This interchange of breeze maintains the heat balance. Hence, the areas close to the sea have a lower daily and annual ranges of temperatures and enjoy a moderate climate than the areas lying in the interior.
