The currents affect the climate of the country deeply. In winters, there are cold conditions in north west of Britain. But, the north Atlantic sea current takes easternly direction under the impact of western winds. This warm current reaches Norway and Sweden cold countries through the north-west of Britain. Because of the impact of warm currents the western ports of Britain remain open. But, in the absence of such a climate the eastern ports of North America remain frozen and closed.
