Ocean currents influence climate patterns by redistributing heat around the globe. Warm ocean currents carry heat from the equator towards the poles, warming the air above them and influencing the temperature and precipitation patterns of nearby landmasses. Conversely, cold ocean currents can cool the air above them, leading to cooler and drier climates in their vicinity. These temperature variations caused by ocean currents can have a significant impact on local weather patterns and overall climate conditions.
