Hi there!

Larger bodies of water, such as oceans, can make the climate of land near them warm up later in the summer and cool later in the winter than places far away from an ocean.

Large bodies of water take longer to cool down and heat up, and they can also retain their temperature for much longer than regular air can. This makes the lagging temperature effect of water.

Hope this helps!
