Answer: Great Britain

The Gulf Stream is the most important oceanic current system that affects the northern hemisphere of Earth. The two main deriving forces for the generation of Gulf Stream are the southwesterly trade winds and the circulation of water. The Gulf stream exerts an influence on the climatic conditions of the surrounding regions. It keeps the Ireland and the Western coast of Great Britain warmer than the eastern region.
