The Gulf Stream is a powerful Atlantic Ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows along the eastern coast of North America before crossing toward Europe. For expats relocating to coastal regions on either side of the Atlantic—particularly in the UK, Ireland, or northeastern North America—understanding this current matters because it significantly influences local climate, weather patterns, and seasonal conditions that affect daily life, from heating costs to outdoor activities.
