Latitude

The weather is made up of a lot of different components; for example temperature, wind, rain, cloudiness, and humidity.The weather is hot and steamy all the year round near the equator and freezing cold near the poles, but how does the climate (the weather that you expect on average) change with latitude?

To answer this question, measurements from weather stations around the world were retrieved from OpenWeatherMap.org on 5th January 2017 and plots were made of various weather elements against the latitude of the weather station.
