The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current. It flows across the Atlantic and influences the climate of western Europe by transporting warm water, which leads to milder temperatures there. The Canary Islands are influenced by the Canary Current, southern California by the California Current, and Newfoundland by the cold Labrador Current (though the Gulf Stream's extension can affect it a bit, but the primary major mild - climate impact on a large region like western Europe is the key here).
