by using gridded data from the WorldClim dataset, only has land. I tried median first  looks like the Sahara is the median land. or some hot desert   was surprised how cold the winters are at most latitudes. I plotted just 25°N and 40°N in January to see where the col temperatures are. Asia and Africa (for 25°N) is cold in winter  gaps in the lines are from ocean  now tried mean instead of median. That'd help places not desert affect the low-latitude average; but for mid and high latitudes it'd make cold Asia push the averages even more. Looks like mean climate at 20-30°N is a hot monsoonal climate not desert    Mean isn't any colder in the winter than median, weirdly |

nei this is wonderful! Do you have gridded population data as well? then you could try to find the average climate per inhabitant of every given latitude

I actually really like 40S! Cadeau thoughts? |

Even the mean climates for the northern hemisphere are rather dry. Shows how unique the eastern US is.

Lmao someone show this to Tom 77.... eastern us is actually a bit warm for its latitude , for raleigh no matter which way you average it we are warm for the lat.

I actually really like 40S! Cadeau thoughts? I created an average stat for extreme months of random inhabited 38 places located between 38°30'S and 41°30'S. Coldest/Hottest average high/low doesn't correspond to original climate data in some case, for example Chilean cities tend to observe average highs peaks in February while average lows peaks in January and I take an individual value of them. More than half of lowland areas match within my tolerance range of winters and generally good taste of summers. Precipitation is flawless too having evenly distributed 60~70 mm at a midpoint in each month.  |

I'll add that working on this was slowed down by a pest. Not too bad just distracting just off to the side  hard to work  he purrs! |

This thread is awesome. Deserves more views.
So Sydney has just slightly cool average temps for summer, only that its winters are far warm for its latitude.

Looks like population weighted average elevation is around 1000m for equator, highlands in Africa and South America |

Very interesting. Shows how vastly superior Sheffield's climate is to the average 50°N climate! And we're nearly 54°N, infact... so I should be comparing it to the 55°N average climate which makes us seem even better.

Awesome work! I know that it fails to consider elevation, but as Yahya Sinwar mentioned earlier, Raleigh, and most of SE U.S. ain't cold for its latitude. Muh extreme cold snaps, muh Tegnell |
