How does the latitude of a place affect the temperature of that particular place?

Answer 1

During the summer months (June, July, and August), the Northern hemisphere receives more direct light from the sun than the southern hemisphere. This is why Summer in Europe means Winter in Australia. In extreme regions of Alaska, the sun will only set for very few hours, creating an exceptionally short night and very long days.

As you increase in latitude (either north or south), the temperature will drop since you are approaching the poles. The North and South poles are the coldest regions of our planet for one reason: they get less direct sunlight than the tropics.

Despite this constant exposure to sunlight, the poles receive very little DIRECT sunlight. Considering the tilt of the earth's axis, much of the sunlight directed at the poles simply bounces off of the atmosphere. As you get closer and closer to the equator, locations begin to have very similar amounts of light from the sun.

The additional direct light warms the earth's crust and causes temperatures to rise.

Answer 2

If latitude increases temperature decreases. So in the equatorial region that is where latitude is low temperature is high. It is estimated that for a distance of 100 km towards north or south from any place temperature decreases one degree celcius.

Answer 3

Latitude is not always a sure indicator of temperature. Madrid, Spain, is one of the lowest-latitude cities in Europe, but is at about the same latitude as Philidelphia. Most of Europe is at the same latitude as the Northern Plains states and most of Siberia, but have much warmer summers and winters.
Latitude is one factor of temperature, but not always the most important factor.

Answer 4

From 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM is said to be the hottest part of the day. It is also the highest risk of getting a sunburn, so if you're out during the afternoon on a sunny day, bring water and sunblock!
