Seasonality

This blog post will look at seasonality by looking at the differences of sunrises, sunsets, high temperature for the day, and low temperatures for the same day between six different cities within the relatively same latitude but different longitudes. The closer the city is to the equator the time of daylight and the time of nighttime become more equal. In addition, the closer to the equator the higher the temperatures and the wider range between high and low.

I looked at six cities along the 30° latitude.
The following is a chart with all of the data collected for today, October 15, 2012.
