Summary: Latitude and Weather


Mean Temperature by Lattitude Range Map

The purpose of this project was to analyze how weather changes as you get closer to the equator. To accomplish this analysis, we first pulled data from the OpenWeatherMap API to assemble a dataset consisting of over 500 cities. Click here to see how the sample of cities was distributed across latitudes and longitudes.

After assembling the dataset, we used Matplotlib to plot various aspects of the weather vs. latitude. Factors we looked at included: temperature, cloudiness, wind speed, and humidity. This site provides the source data and visualizations created as part of the analysis, as well as descriptions of any observed correlations.
