Weather Observations by Latitude

---

The purpose of this project was to determine if there are any observable weather trends as you get closer to or futher away from the equator.

To do this, I created a python script to visualize the relationships between various weather elements and latitude. First I generated a list of 1500 random latitude and longitude coordinates. Then I created a list of unique cities closest to each coordinate set utilizing the citipy module. Next I used a series of API calls to the OpenWeatherMap API to generate a dataset of available cities and various weather observations on a given date--June 25, 2019. Finally, utilizing the Matplotlib library, I plotted measurements for four different weather elements--cloudiness, humidity, maximum temperature, and wind speed--versus the city's latitude. Viewing these plots allowed me to make some observations on weather trends based on latitude.
