Which of the following statements is true regarding the Marine West Coast Climate (Cfb) as per Koeppen's scheme of classification of climate?
It experiences small daily and annual temperature ranges due to oceanic influence.
In Koeppen's scheme, Cfb denotes the Marine West Coast climate: a warm temperate (C) climate with no dry season (f) and warm but not hot summers (b).
It is found on the western margins of continents in the mid-latitudes, roughly 45 to 55 degrees, where prevailing westerlies bring moist maritime air throughout the year.
The constant onshore flow from the ocean keeps winters mild, summers cool and rainfall spread evenly across all months, so daily and annual temperature ranges are small.
Hence, the true statement is that the Cfb climate shows small daily and annual temperature ranges due to strong oceanic influence.
