Detailed explanation-1: -The current often mixes with northern cold polar water to produce excellent fishing grounds near islands and along the coast of northwestern Europe. The combination of the warm current and prevailing westerly winds helps maintain a mild climate in northwestern Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Climate. The temperate climate of NAC is characterized by mild humid weather. Climate tends to be tempered by coastal waters resulting in cooler summer temperatures and warmer winter temperatures than those found farther inland. Normal precipitation averages between 40 and 45” per year.
Detailed explanation-3: -The North Atlantic Drift, in contrast, is largely driven by thermohaline circulation. By carrying warm water northeast across the Atlantic, it makes Western Europe and especially Northern Europe warmer and milder than it otherwise would be.
