Question

Why eastern part of sea in temperate zone is more hot than western?

Answer 1

Britain is in the temperate climate zone and does not have extremes of temperature or rainfall. The Gulf Stream, a large Atlantic Ocean current of warm water from the Gulf of Mexico, keeps winters quite mild whilst during summertime, warm but not excessively hot temperatures are experienced. The average annual temperature in Britain is about 10ºC, with the summer average temperature being around 15ºC and the winter average being around 5ºC (day and night). As we have seen in previous sections, the British weather is dominated by frontal depressions which form in the Mid-Atlantic and pass across into Europe, bringing changeable weather.
