Seasonal changes in water temperature tend to remain within a narrow range. This is opposed to air temperature, which tends to fluctuate across a wide range. The relative stability of ocean temperatures helps to regulate the temperatures of coastal regions. Why can water remain within a narrow range of temperatures?

It is because of the high specific heat of water.

Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of unit mass of a substance by one degree.

Specific heat of water is 4.186 kJ/kg K and that of air is 1 kJ/kg K. Thus, a given amount of heat will cause more change in the temperature of air than that of water.
