Is the west coast warmer than the east coast?
The west coast is milder than the east coast (warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer) because of the California Current that starts from Alaska and runs down the west coast of North America. Gyres and winds that blow from west to east cause this current to happen. Because of this, the ocean moderates temperatures on land (since water has a high specific heat), which is why the west coast never snows in winter and rarely gets above 80 degrees in summer.
