Answer 2

The coastal regions face the effect of continentality. Places near coasts have a small range of temperatures because it faces continentality. Seas and oceans have a moderating influence on the coastal regions. Water has an unique ability to absorb heat and keep it under lock and key. Therefore, hot air over the land moves up and creates a low pressure region. Cold air over seas move over the land and doesn't let it get a high temperature. The vice versa happens in winter.
