coastal weather
Shore atmospheric conditions
Coastal weather refers to the climate conditions found along shorelines, where land meets ocean.
Proximity to water moderates temperature extremes—cooler summers, milder winters—while producing characteristic phenomena like sea breezes, fog, and salt-laden air.
The coastal weather kept mornings gray until noon.
Weather forecasts often distinguish coastal from inland conditions.
