When I was junior high school student, I wander that British must be cold, because the latitude is much higher than Japan― the latitude of Britain is 50-60 degree, and Japan is 35 degree.However, I found that Britain is warmer than I thought. There are two reasons, a warm current, and the westerlies.
The warm current which is called 'North Atlantic Current' is moving from around the equator in Atlantic Ocean to around the North Sea of British island. The North Atlantic current run at 7 kilometers per hour, and high temperature, which is 30 degree in the summer.
And, the westerlies are the continuous winds that blow from the
west to the east in the middle latitude（30-60 degree）.Thus, the warm current and wind carry warmth to the British island, but the wind includes high humidity. so, it connects the reason why there are lots of rains in British.
Then, why has it happened that the warm current and the westerlies move west to east? this is because of the Earth rotation. It makes huge current of air and ocean current to the surface of the Earth. In fact, the huge ocean current which is called Kuroshio goes through east sea of Japan. Moreover, the westerlies make the course of the typhoon from the north west to the north east.
I realized that the workings of nature was interesting.
