Summary: Latitude vs. X

"Damn Olds is froze up again! That S.O.B. would freeze up in the middle of summer on the equator!" That line was spoken by Ralphie's father in the movie "A Christmas Story." And while funny, is it true? Is there a correlation between weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, cloudiness and wind speed, and their proximity to the equator? This project examined that very question.

 

In order to answer the question, I generated a list of 546 randomly-selected cities around the globe by making requests to the OpenWeatherMapAPI. The cities were then used to create a dataset. I then used Matplotlib to create scatterplot graphs to show if correlations existed. This site includes the graphs, the data used and explanations of each graph.
