The sea acts as either a source or a sink depending on the conditions. For example, during the winter, it acts as a heat source due to it being SO much warmer than the air. Air is MUCH easier to chill or heat than water is. During the summer, it can act as an opposite manner. This is what you are experiencing. Go ask someone who lives near the lakes in northern NY about lake effect snow! *laughter* Same issue there too.

Distance from the sea affects temperature as cold fronts often start in the ocean. Prevailing winds are often cold which comes directly off the ocean. This is why many popular cities are on the coast because many people enjoy the nice cool breeze in the evening.
Inland, the breeze slows down and therefore once it reaches a further distance, it gets warmer. That is why traditionally towns more inland or much hotter than towns on the coast.

The closer you are to the sea, the more the air is affected by the temperature of the water. Obviously, the humidity is also affected. If you are far inland, the air moving over your location would be dryer and more affected by the land over which it has moved.
