EasyWhy are the winds coming from the sea cool in summer?
(N/A) The specific heat capacity of water is significantly higher than that of land. During summer,water absorbs heat and its temperature increases much more slowly than land. Consequently,the air above the sea remains at a lower temperature compared to the air above the land. Therefore,when this air moves from the sea towards the land,it is felt as a cool breeze.
