you can't really do comparisons like that as there are other currents which overlap with the overturning one and they won't stop even if that one stops due to them getting a lot of their energy from earth rotation. Through depending on which you look at they might become a bit hotter/colder.

Also geography making it more, or less, likely for constant wind from the inland affecting the wetter can also affect the normal expected wetter noticeable.

E.g. UK being a island means there are much less affected by inland wetter moving over to them then many typical Canadian comparison places. (And from-inland wind is the main cause of very hot summer or very cold winter wetter in many places e.g. cold weeks in north Germany, or e.g. the main source of Blizzards in the US).

So IMHO comparisons like "this city is on the same latitude and also on the cost so it will have similar weather" without the overturning current are pointless (which doesn't mean that they can't happen to be correct, but they as much can happen to be fully wrong).
