Answer
During the day the sea breeze blowing towards the land from the sea keeps the coastal region cool and during the night the land breeze blowing from the land towards the sea 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.
