Latitude vs. Max Temperature
Latitude vs. Max Temperature
Analysis of temperature patterns across latitudes, showing strong correlation between proximity to equator and higher temperatures.
Correlation Strength: Strong
  • Clear negative correlation in northern hemisphere
  • Symmetric distribution around equator
  • R² value: 0.84 (high correlation)
Latitude vs. Humidity
Latitude vs. Humidity
Examination of humidity distribution across latitudes, showing complex patterns influenced by local geography and proximity to water bodies.
Correlation Strength: Weak
  • High variability across all latitudes
  • Tropical regions show consistently high humidity
  • Desert regions create notable exceptions
Latitude vs. Cloudiness
Latitude vs. Cloudiness
Study of cloud cover patterns, revealing minimal latitudinal correlation and high variability influenced by local weather systems.
Correlation Strength: Very Weak
  • Measurement clustering at specific percentages
  • High variability at all latitudes
  • Complex atmospheric influences dominate
Latitude vs. Wind Speed
Latitude vs. Wind Speed
Analysis of wind patterns showing moderate correlation with latitude, with higher variability at extreme latitudes due to jet stream influences.
Correlation Strength: Moderate
  • Most cities experience 0-15 mph winds
  • Higher variability at extreme latitudes
  • Calmer conditions near equator

Key Findings

  • Temperatures increase as cities approach the equator (0° latitude)
  • Strong negative correlation between latitude and temperature in northern hemisphere
  • Temperature distribution is more symmetric around the equator
  • Southern hemisphere shows less temperature variation

This scatter plot shows the relationship between latitude and maximum temperature. As expected, cities closer to the equator (0° latitude) experience higher temperatures, while temperatures decrease as we move toward the poles.

Key Insights

  • Temperature shows the strongest correlation with latitude, with clear patterns of decreasing temperature as distance from the equator increases.
  • Wind speed shows moderate correlation, with higher latitudes experiencing more variability due to atmospheric circulation patterns.
  • Humidity displays weak correlation, indicating that local geographic features (proximity to water, elevation) have greater influence than latitude alone.
  • Cloudiness shows very weak correlation, suggesting complex atmospheric dynamics that are not primarily driven by latitudinal position.

Research Implication: While latitude strongly influences temperature, other weather factors are more heavily influenced by local geography and atmospheric conditions, demonstrating the complexity of global climate patterns.
