Describe how the Gulf Stream produces milder winters in Scandinavia?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
As this stream travels north, it transfers heat and moisture from its warm waters to the air above. Westerly winds carry the warm air to the British Isles and to Scandinavia. The westerly winds cause these places to have milder winters than they would otherwise experience at their northern latitudes.
