Latitude vs. X

moving grid lines

The purpose of this project is to analyze how weather changes as you get closer to the equator.

To accomplish this, I pulled data from the OpenWeatherMap API and used Citypy to create a dataset of weather for 500+ cities across the world of varying distance from the equator.

After collecting the dataset, I used Matplotlib to plot various aspects of weather vs. latitude. Factors we looked at included: temperature, humidity, cloudiness, and wind speed.

This site provides the source data and visualizations created as part of the analysis, as well as explanations and descriptions of any trends and correlations witnessed.
