Latitude vs. Max Temperature


Latitude vs. Max Temperature

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.

Methodology: Data was collected from OpenWeatherMap API for over 500 cities worldwide. Matplotlib was used for visualization with custom styling.

Insight: The clear temperature-latitude relationship demonstrates the fundamental impact of geographic location on climate patterns.
