Land vs. Water

<>
Despite being at similar latitudes, Reykjavik and Yakutsk have different temperature and precipitation patterns. Because land heats and cools faster and more intensely than water, continental locations have a larger seasonal temperature range than maritime locations. Maritime locations often have more precipitation because of their proximity to a large moisture source.
