Detailed Solution

The climate of the coastal areas is affected by ocean currents along with onshore winds.
Ocean current refers to seawater's movement due to several forces acting on it, including wind, temperature, and salinity. When there are lands bordering the oceans, the ocean currents significantly affect the land's climate if the currents are warm and blow onshore.
Onshore winds carry moisture with them and the effect of ocean currents. Similarly, the coastal climate will be cooler if a cool current blows over the shore. Warm currents generally occur in higher latitudes, while cold currents are prevalent in equatorial regions.
