The Gulf Stream is a large and powerful current that begins in the Gulf of Mexico. It brings along with it the warm temperatures of the Gulf. It actually runs its way up the eastern coast of the United States. It has the affect of making the island - nation of Bermuda a tropical place. It's strange in that it's only 600 miles southeast of New York City. The Gulf Stream has enough strength to arc over the North Atlantic Ocean and makes a climate impact as faraway as the British Isles.

Changes in the normal Gulf of Mexico temperatures will affect the climates of all the areas that it passes. Should the Gulf's temperature move lower or higher, the areas it now passes by and passes through will carry that change along with it.

What is similar from jet stream and gulf stream?

Both the jet stream and the Gulf Stream are significant components of Earth's atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. They influence weather patterns and climate, with the jet stream affecting air movements in the atmosphere and the Gulf Stream impacting ocean temperatures and currents. Both streams are driven by the Earth's rotation and temperature gradients, playing critical roles in redistributing heat across the planet. Additionally, they can both affect regional climates and weather phenomena, such as storms and temperature variations.
