Answer:

The strong current of the warm water is keeping the temperatures in Florida warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Since the Gulf Stream also goes toward Europe it warms the western side of Europe countries also.

Answer:

The Gulf Stream is an intense, warm ocean current in the western North Atlantic Ocean.

Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well. In fact, England is about the same distance from the equator as cold regions of Canada, yet England enjoys a much warmer climate. If it weren't for the warm water of the Gulf Stream, England would have a much colder climate.
