Gulf Stream
The North Atlantic Current brings much warmer weather to Europe. This explains why Europe is some 15˚F warmer than areas of the same latitude.
The climate is cooler at 45 degrees latitude compared to 0 degrees latitude because the Sun is shining at a different angle. At 0 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining directly overhead, and thus it receives highly-concentrated sun rays which heat up the Earth rapidly. However, at 45 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining at a slanted angle, which makes the sun rays spread over a larger area and warming the Earth at a slower rate.
Latitude affects climate by determining the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface. Areas closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight and therefore tend to be warmer, while areas closer to the poles receive sunlight at a more oblique angle, leading to cooler temperatures. This variation in sunlight intensity is a key factor in shaping global climate patterns.
The climate of an inland city would differ from that of a coastal city, even if located at the same latitude. The coastal climate is cooler and damper, while those inland are warmer and drier.
No, it's warmer
Well you have to look at the latitude/position of Europe, look how far north it is! Europe is actually very warm for its location, compared to areas at the same latitude. The warm ocean currents bring warmer weather.
Its because Japan is humid, and humidity makes the water warmer.
The North Atlantic Drift brings warmer weather to Europe, especially Western Europe. Compared to areas of the same latitude, Western Europe is usually about 10-15 F warmer.
Mississippi, because it is closer To the middle of earth. :-)
Latitude and altitude. Latitude is how far north or south you are from the equator, the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is. Altitude is how high from the earth's surface you are, the higher up you are the colder it is.

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.
Yes. Since latitude is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator (0° latitude), the lower latitude numbers are closer to the tropics, while the higher ones are comparatively closer to the poles. Although it is not always true, locations at "lower" latitude numbers will generally be warmer than locations at "higher" numbers.

Houston because of latitude, elevation and proximity to the sea (Gulf of Mexico).
