Characteristics of temperate maritime climate

Temperate maritime climate refers to the temperate climate and the climate type close to the ocean. The characteristics of temperate maritime climate mainly include the following aspects:

First, the temperature is moderate.

One of the characteristics of temperate maritime climate is moderate temperature and distinct seasons. It is warm in summer and cold in winter, but the temperature difference is not big, and the annual average temperature is about 10℃. Because the ocean has high specific heat capacity and thermal inertia, it plays a role in regulating temperature, which makes the temperature change of temperate maritime climate relatively moderate.

Second, abundant precipitation.

Another feature of temperate maritime climate is abundant rainfall and relatively uniform distribution. Due to the influence of westerlies, there is usually more precipitation in temperate maritime climate areas, especially in winter. At the same time, the ocean will also provide sufficient water for the surrounding land through evaporation.

Third, foggy weather.

Because the area where the temperate maritime climate is located is usually affected by a large amount of precipitation, coupled with the humid airflow of the ocean, foggy weather is also a feature of the temperate maritime climate. In this climate, there is much fog and low visibility, which will have a certain impact on people's travel and production activities.

Fourthly, the influence of monsoon.

Areas with temperate maritime climate are usually affected by monsoon, because areas with temperate maritime climate are usually located at higher latitudes, receive less solar radiation and have obvious seasonal changes. At the same time, the influence of monsoon will also have a certain impact on the temperature and precipitation of this climate type.

In a word, temperate maritime climate is a climate type, and its characteristics include moderate temperature, abundant precipitation, foggy weather and monsoon influence. In this climate, people can grow a variety of crops, develop fisheries and tourism, and at the same time pay attention to preventing natural disasters.
