The Gulf Stream (and extension of the North Atlantic Drift) is a current that begins in the Gulf of Mexico. It carries warm water across the Atlantic Ocean to the coast of the UK and Ireland. The UK is on similar latitudes to that of Canada and so should have a similar climate however the Gulf Stream keeps the UK (and parts of Florida) a few degrees warmer than it would be without this current meaning winters are much milder.
