Solution

Local winds such as sea breeze and land breeze affect the weather and climate of coastal regions. During the day, land heats up faster than the sea, so cool air moves from the sea towards the land. This is called sea breeze. At night, land cools faster than the sea, so air moves from the land towards the sea. This is called land breeze. These winds help maintain moderate climatic conditions in coastal areas.
