Why do British isles have different climate from other places on the same latitude?

Probably because we're surrounded by water. Water has varying effects on prevailing weather. Additionally, most of our weather comes across the Atlantic Ocean - and is usually the remnants of caribbean hurricanes.

∙ 12y agoBecause the "Gulf Stream" ... a current of warm water from the Gulf of Mexico ...
flows across the Atlantic Ocean and northward, and warms the British Isles, the
north coast of Europe, the North Sea, and much of Scandinavia.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe two main reasons are:- It's closer to the North polar region, and it's further away from the Gulf Stream, which passes close to the south coast of the UK.

What is the difference between an equatorial climate and britain's climate?
Equatorial places are hot and wet throughout the year and the Britain has cool summers and mild winters. Equatorial Climate is found in places between latitudes 5^N and 5^S whereas the British climate is found between 50^N and 60^N. Prevailing winds do not blow in equatorial places but in the places which have British climate they blow from the south-west. ^= degree Note: All the answers are 100% sure and are approved by the London Boards.

What is used to locate places on earth's surface?
A Map, in one one of these different types of projections: Mercator, Gnomonic, and Polyconic. Mercator - Shows the whole world except for the poles. Gnomonic - A circle projection showing, most often, the poles but sometimes other small places of the earth. Polyconic - Made as if a cone of paper had been wrapped around the earth, often used for places in the middle latitudes, such as the United States.
Imaginary lines connecting places of the same latitude are known as?
parallels
What is equable climate?
Equable Climate is that type of climate when the temperature of day and night is almost same.it is experienced in the places near the sea.
What are some Factors that affect the climate of Atlantic Maritime?
latitude and longitude altitude ((height in elevation)) winds distance from the sea/ocean ((land heats up and cools quicker than the sea does)) and Aspect ((places{slopes} facing the sun will be warmer))
How do zones of latitude affect the climate?
It affects it by having different temperatures at different places
Why is the climate of the British Isles more moderate than the climate of the places at the same latitude?
because its between 50-60N of the equator
Is latitude a climate control?
no it is a way to locate places
Will places at the same latitude have the same climate?
Not necessarily. Elevation and distance to the coast also influences climate.
How can two places at the same latitude have different climates?
Latitude is only one factor which determines the climate or even simply the rainfall pattern, temperature pattern etc. The climate is also determined by wind pattern, relief(how high the place is) etc.
What has a colder climate high latitudes or low latitudes?
places in low latitudes have hot climate and places in high latitude have cold climates because in high latitude its farther away from the equator which makes it colder.
Places with the same latitude may have different climates because they have different what?
heigh
Why is it colder in higher places than lower places?
since it is above sea level the air pressure is lower which makes the climate cooler than in places with a low latitude
What places are affected by latitude?
The climate does not necessarily affect the latitude, but the latitude may affect the converse. This answer definately needs improvement, however you can tell by looking at a map that the farther away a country is from the equator, the colder it gets. For example, look at the latitudinal distance from the equator of Northern Canada and Antartica.
Does Britain have a temperature climate and why?
Yes to both. All places on earth have a general weather pattern, which is called climate. Different places have different climates, but every place has some climate. Similarly, everything has temperature, not matter how warm or how cold.
What is the difference between an equatorial climate and britain's climate?
Equatorial places are hot and wet throughout the year and the Britain has cool summers and mild winters.

What is the relationship between the latitude and diversity?
Latitude refers to where places are, and diversity is the sharing of the cultures in those places.
