Although the British Isles are as far north in latitude (distance north or south of the equator measured in degrees) as Labrador in Canada, they have a mild climate throughout the year. This is due to the Gulf Stream, a current of warm water that flows up from the Caribbean past Britain. Prevailing (most frequent or usual) southwesterly winds moving across this warmer water bring moisture (liquid in the form of vapour) and moderating (not extreme, having reasonable limits) temperatures to the British Isles. The surrounding waters moderate temperatures year-round, making the UK warmer in winter and cooler in summer than other areas at the same latitude. Great Britain’s western coast tends to be warmer than the eastern coast, and the southern regions tend to be warmer than the northern regions. The mean annual temperature in the far north of Scotland is 6°C, and in warmer southwestern England it is 11°C . In general, temperatures are ordinarily around 15°C in the summer and around 5°C in the winter. Temperatures rarely ever exceed (be greater than ) 32°C or drop below -10°C anywhere in the British Isles. In general, frosts, when the temperature dips below 0°C , are rare. ; Winds?blowing?off?the Atlantic Ocean bring clouds and large amounts of moisture to the British Isles. Average annual prec
