Is northern Europe warmer than Central America?
No, central America is warmer than northern Europe. Central America is closer to the equator and is slightly warmer.
Why do latitudes closer to the equator have warmer climates?
Latitudes closer to the Equator have warmer climates because they receive direct sunlight and therefore, the latitudes get evidently heated. :)
Why is Northern and Western Europe's climate unusual for a region located in a latitude that is so far North?
It is warmer than equivalent latitudes. This is due to the Gulf Stream which brings warmer waters from the Gulf of Mexico towards western Europe.
On a map of average annual temperature why are the lower latitudes so much warmer than the higher latitudes?

How London remains so warm compared to other places at its latitude in the context of the other two forms of heat transfer that aren't radiation?
The Gulf Stream comes up and keeps much of western Europe warmer than places at the same latitudes. London benefits from that, which is why it is warmer than places of a similar latitude.
Why is Spain hotter than Norway?
The Gulf StreamA current from the Gulf of Mexico carries warm waters up north towards Europe. This is why Europe is warmer than the Northern US, even though it is farther north.
Why do cities on the east coast have warmer climates than cities on the west coast at similar latitudes?
The air has to travel over the land mass warming up as it travels all east side of countries are warmer
Why is US colder than the UK even with lower latitudes?
This isn't a technical explanation, but it has to do with the fact that the UK is coastal. The ocean currents, which hit the UK from the west are warmer and keep it cooler there than the middle of the continent in North America. This also explains why Washington state is much less cold in the winter than Minnesota, at similar latitudes.
Are temperatures generally warmer in northern Europe or central Africa?
Central Africa is much nearer to the equator so it would have a warmer climate than northern Europe, which is closer to the Arctic.
Why are the waters at the equator warmer than waters at higher latitudes?
Because the waters are heated throughout the whole year and not just in the summer as at higher latitudes.
Why are waters at the equator warmer than waters at higher latitudes?
Because the waters are heated throughout the whole year and not just in the summer as at higher latitudes.
Why north western europe is warmer tgan north eastern NorthAmerica?
Western Europe has warmer weather than areas of the same latitude due to the North Atlantic Drift, an outlet of the Gulf Stream, which is a warm-water current.
