Water has a higher specific heat, meaning it resists temperature changes. States with more water (like coastal states) will have more consistent temperatures. Florida has a large coastal area (surrounded by water), while Alabama, Tennessee, and West Virginia are more inland. So Florida’s proximity to water (oceans) leads to more consistent day - night temperatures due to water’s high specific heat.
