The prevailing wind
Then prevailing wind is the most frequent wind direction a location experiences. In Britain, the prevailing wind is from the South West which brings warm moist air from the Atlantic Ocean.
What do winds from the bring?
Winds that blow from the sea often bring rain to the coast and dry weather to the inland area

Winds that blow to Britain from warm inland areas such as Africa will be warm and dry
What weather does wind from cold inland areas bring?
Winds that blow to Britain from inland areas such as the Netherlands will be cold and dry in the Winter.
How does weather vary in Britain due to latitude?
Weather also varies due to latitude. The closer you are to the equator the warmer it will be this is because the equator is closer to the sun and because the earth is a spherical shape and the sun doesn’t heat the earth evenly.
How does the distance from the sea make the Britain’s wether vary?
The sea keeps coastal places warm in winter but May cool them in the Summer. Places for inland have warm summers and cool winters.
Latitude
In summer the sun warms the South more than the North.
Ocean currents
In winter a warm ocean current called the North Atlantic Drift raises the temperature in the West.
