What this means is that, during the winter, heat energy is transferred from the gulf to the British Isles area, keeping Britain warmer during this part of the year (and Ireland, North Spain and France). I don't think it has much effect during the summer.

That's why during january it doesn't really drop below zero in the southern half of England, whereas other places at the same latitude (canada, siberia) are freezing, even though they all get the same amount of sun as us.

Yeahhhhh, get some science into you.
