The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that transports heat from the tropics to the North Atlantic, significantly moderating Europe's climate, particularly in Western Europe, resulting in milder winters. In contrast, Arctic winds bring colder air from the north, which can lead to harsh winters, particularly in Northern and Eastern Europe. The interplay between these warm and cold air masses creates a relatively temperate climate in many regions while also contributing to seasonal variability and extreme weather events. Overall, the Gulf Stream helps maintain a balance that prevents Europe from experiencing the severe cold typical of other regions at similar latitudes.

What ocean currents affect Halifax?
The Gulf Stream and Labrador Current are the main ocean currents that affect Halifax. The Gulf Stream brings warm water from the south, affecting Halifax's climate and temperature, while the Labrador Current brings cool water down from the Arctic, influencing marine ecosystems and weather patterns in the region.

The major influence on the climate of northwestern Europe is what?
That depends on what you mean. Politically it would be the European Union; in terms of climate it would be the Atlantic Ocean and also the Arctic. There are many possible interpretations to that question.

What is a warm water current that can affect the climate of the British Isles?
The North Atlantic Drift, a branch of the Gulf Stream, is a warm water current that affects the climate of the British Isles. It helps to keep the region milder and more temperate than other areas at similar latitudes.
Why do you think Scandinavia has one one of the coldest climate in Europe?
Scandinavia has a cold climate because they are close to the north-pole. But because of the Gulf-stream its not permanent ice like it is at the same degrees in North-America.

Can the jet stream bring cold Arctic air into North America?
Yes. The jet stream roughly marks where cold arctic air meets warmer tropical air. If the jet stream over North America dips unusually far south, arctic air will travel south as well and bring unusually cold weather.
