Project Overview

This project involved gathering weather data on 500+ cities distributed around the world across different latitudes to see if any climate properties have a consistent relationship with latitude - that is, a change in latitude can predict or cause a corresponding change in the climate property. This project was originally undertaken in order to show how the temperature of a given city increases the closer it is to the equator - in other words, as the latitude approaches 0 degrees.

The different climate properties examined with respect to latitude include temperature (deg F), cloudiness (%), humidity (%), and wind speed (mph). These were the current weather conditions reported from the OpenWeatherMap API for the cities listed in the Data table.
