Explanation:

You can use "LOWER Near water" to remember that factors which affect the weather patterns of a region.

Latitude. It tends to be hotter when closer to the equator.

Ocean currents. The temperature of the ocean can come from far away and affect the temperature of the air in a new location.

Wind and air mass. Air masses, blown by the wind, change the weather in an area depending on where it was formed.

Elevation, which is the same as altitude. It tends to be colder higher up.

Relief. When mountains block wind and precipitation on one side, making the other side have "relief" on the leeward side.

Near water. Temperature is more moderate because water does not change temperature as fast.
