The thermal effects of bodies of water
Bodies of water regulate temperature because they store heat during the day and then slowly release that heat during these cool fall evenings.
Water serves to regulate the temperature of the surrounding areas. The high heat capacity of the Atlantic Ocean, for example, serves to keep New England warmer than one might think for a place so far north (e.g. Montana).
In these two images, you can see the effects of smaller bodies of water (lakes and rivers). In the visible image, the lakes are seen in the early morning (around 8am). In the thermal image, the lakes are visible as being warmer than the surrounding land of the cool countryside.
