The climate of Ulthuan

Having just finished Gav Thorpe’s The Sundering series, I’m wondering why it gets as cold in the Elven realms as he says it does.

If we assume that the Warhammer world is a rough approximation of ours, the Old World more or less Europe, Naggaroth more or less North America and so on, Ulthuan would be situated approximately where Atlantis was (suppposed to have been), in the middle of the Atlantic, on about the same latitude as Mexico and North Africa. which would make for a pretty balmy climate throughout.

Yet in the books, the north of the island continent is described as being easily as cold as Scandinavia and even the more southerly portions get their fair share of freezes. Does the gulf stream not work the same way in the Warhammer world, does the fact that they have 2 moons have a detrimental effect on weather or what else could be the problem ?
