Summary: Latitude and Weather


For this project, weather conditions were analyzed for over 500 cities across the globe to study how distance from the equator impacted weather. Random latitudes and longitudes were compiled and using the Python library Citipy the nearest cities to those coordinates were identifed.

With the resulting list of over 500 cities and using the OpenWeatherMap API, data for several weather conditions was compiled into a dataset. Plots were created using Matplotlib to examine latitude versus each weather condition (temperature, humidity, cloudiness, and wind speed). This site includes the source data and the visualizations created for the project, along with explanations and observations made during the analysis.
