It is likewise found along<strong>\u00a0coastal Chile in South America<\/strong>. The marine west coast climate extends further inland into\u00a0<strong>northwest Europe than in North America due to the orientation of mountains<\/strong>. This climate is also found on the\u00a0<strong>southeast coast of Australia and New Zealand.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The marine west coast is noted for its\u00a0<strong>mild summers and winters and, as a result, a small annual temperature range<\/strong>. Its location on the west coast of a continent in the midlatitudes places the climate in the path of the Westerlies. In this situation, the climate receives a\u00a0<strong>constant influx of oceanic air throughout the year.<\/strong>\u00a0The mild temperatures are a direct result of the moderating influence of ocean bodies on air temperatures. The is especially true for those situations where a warm ocean current borders the continent, like the North Atlantic Drift\u2019s effect on northwestern Europe. Temperature ranges increase as one moves away from the coast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The marine west coast climate is\u00a0<strong>dominated by cyclonic activity embedded in the Westerlies. Frequent cyclonic storms bring prolonged periods of rain, drizzle and fog to these west coast locations.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>In some locations it is not uncommon to receive as much as 250 cm (100 in) of precipitation in a year.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lotusarise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Marine-West-Coast-climate.webp\" alt=\"Marine West Coast climate\" class=\"wp-image-51266\" style=\"width:818px;height:auto\" title=\"UPSC Prelims Research: Geography 2024 6\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marine West Coast climate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Must Read:&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lotusarise.com\/climatic-regions-of-world-upsc\/\">Climatic Regions of World<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is this type of climate?
