Why is a high pressure system (anticyclone) associated with colder temperatures when it is in Canada but is associated with warmer temperatures when it reaches the Gulf of Mexico several days later?

The regions or area of any planet, where the atmospheric pressure is greater than their surrounding environment pressure, is known as the high-pressure system or anticyclones. In a high-pressure system, the highest pressure got situated in the center.
The winds rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere, in a high-pressure system. The winds of a high-pressure system always rotate in opposite direction from the surrounding environmental pressure. The origin of a high-pressure temperature system is responsible for the weather changes in any region. When the high-pressure system is generated from the north, it basically creates a colder weather temperature, and if generated from the south they create a warmer weather temperature. Canada situated on the top of the northern hemisphere at a higher altitude, so the high-pressure system which got generated from the north associated with colder temperatures in Canada. The high-pressure system winds of north become weaker and got affected by oceanic currents when it reaches the Gulf of Mexico and becomes warmer than the weather of Canada with the same high-pressure system.
