At what latitude?

Pick a city: the map shows its parallel and the other cities at the same latitude, worldwide, in a continent or in a country, with their climate. At the same latitude climates can be very different: they also depend on the sea, winds, currents and altitude.

Cities at the same latitude

City Latitude Difference Distance (km) Inhabitants Climate (1991–2020) Compare climates

Difference: how many degrees north (+) or south (−) of the chosen city; in the other hemisphere the distance from the equator is compared. Straight-line distance. The climate is that of the city's point on the Köppen-Geiger climate map (cells of about 5 km); for a very large or coastal city it can change from one district to another.
