Latitude vs. Weather Summary

The purpose of this analysis was to determine how weather changes as latitude nears the equator. Data analysis was performed on a random sample of 500 cities across the globe to determine the relationship between latitude and various weather elements, including: temperature, humidity, cloudiness and wind speed. Does temperature change as the latitude nears the equator? Is there an observable relationship between latitude and temperature?

Scatter plots where graphed using Matplotlib to depict the relationships between latitude and the four weather elements. It was determined that there was one observable relationship in the dataset: Latitude vs Temperature. Specifically, temperature increases as the latitude approaches the equator, where latitude = 0. Relationships between Latitude and Humidity / Cloudiness / Wind Speed were not observed. This site contains all the souce data and visualizations produced for the data analysis, with descriptions of any correlations observed.
