Long Answer

Solution

A maritime climate refers to a climate that is influenced by the proximity to the sea or ocean, which results in moderate temperatures with less extreme variations between summer and winter. The temperature remains relatively stable throughout the year due to the moderating effect of large water bodies that heat up and cool down more slowly than land. Maritime climates also experience higher humidity and more frequent rainfall compared to inland areas.
