Question

why do we see small range if the temperature is Maritime climate but not in continental climate.

Answer 1

• The main reason for temperature not falling in cities like Mumbai and Chennai are they are nearer to sea bodies, which make them coastal areas. Typically coastal places will have a moderate climate throughout the year as sea surface absorbs heat slowly and also loses the heat slowly (specific heat of water is more) which influences the adjacent land temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference between maritime and continental climate is that there is less of a temperature variation in a maritime climate, while in a continental climate the climate does fluctuate, such that summers can be hot and winters very cold. In a maritime climate, summers can be cool, and the winters are not very cold.
