There is a current that flows around the Pacific.  It comes out of east Asia and moves to the north.  Coming out of east Asia, it is warm.  When it gets to Alaska it is warm, and much like the Gulf stream moderates Europe's weather, this current warms southern Alaska to a degree not possible if that current did exist.  But in moving north begins to cool so that in returning south, but this time off the coast of North America, it is cooler than it was.  This cool part of the current moderates The west coast's otherwise hot climate.


This is geography 101.
