Why do the countries of the British Isles and Scandinavia have a marine climate?

Answer #1

Marine Climate also known as Oceanic Climate is a type of climate typically found along the west coasts at the middle latitudes of some of the world’s continents. . It is characterised by having comparatively warm winters and cool summers with a narrow annual temperature variation and rainfall being fairly uniformly common throughout the year with no predictably regular dry season(s). . In the case of the British Isles and the west-coastal regions of Scandinavia is is caused by the Thermohaline Circulation of warm water in what is known as the “Gulf Stream”. . Global warming is thought to be seriously weakening the effects of the Gulf Stream & its warming effects thus paradoxically, global warming may result in a significant drop in average annual temperatures in the British Isles, within our lifetimes. .
