Answer 1

Upwelling brings cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface. This cold surface water can lead to the following effect on the weather of a coastal region:

**The cold surface water results in moist air and more rainfall.**

This is because the cooler water temperature tends to increase cloud formation and precipitation, leading to more rainfall in the region.
