do you mean "warm" ocean currents? ie ones that flow from warmer parts of the ocean to cooler parts, such as the Gulf Stream?

That is a very interesting question. I do not know what your location is, but in California we have what is called " El Nino" which effect the weather at certain times. I could theorize about it, but I will stick with my answer. It is caused by warm water meeting colder water and the origin is close to the equator.
One scientist connected "El Nino" with under water volcanic action. That was the most reasonable explanation for that phenomenon that I have ever read about.
The waters near the southern hemisphere are warmer.
