Also wind patterns. At the midlatitudes westerlies dominate. So the east coast has a continental climate (cold winters, hot summers) while the west coast does not (the oceans make the summer and winter mild)
You’ll see that the west coast cities on the same latitudes of their European counterparts have a very similar climate (as opposed to east coast cities, which have a very different climate than their latitude-counterpart.
