Air masses are large volumes of air that have generally the same temperature and pressure. Unstable air masses have different temperatures and pressures. Unstable air masses, like this one over the North Sea in Germany, can produce storms.

When it goes up the mountain it cools down and condenses. It moistens the air and causes rain and clouds
When it goes down it dries up and makes the other side really hot and sandy. Ocean Coasts  Warm and cold ocean currents can affect the climate of an area along the coast if the winds blow in from the ocean. Warm ocean currents heat the air above the water and carry the warm air to the land, increasing the temperature of the coastal region.

There are three prevailing wind belts in each hemisphere,Tropical Easterlies: From 0-30 degrees latitude (Trade Winds). Prevailing Westerlies: From 30-60 degrees latitude.  A belt of calm air and sea occurring in both the northern and southern hemispheres between the trade winds and the westerlies.  Prevailing Westerlies are the winds in the middle latitudes between 35 and 65 degrees latitude. They tend to blow from the high pressure area in the horse latitudes towards the poles. These prevailing winds blow from the west to the east steering extra-tropical cyclones in this general manner.The polar easterlies are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the North and South Poles towards low-pressure areas within the Westerlies at high latitudes. an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
