Byer på samme breddegrad - hvorfor forskjellig klima?

[Alex T.]

Hvorfor har Roma og New York så forskjellig klima, selv om de ligger på samme breddegrad?

 

Takk for svar!

Rome is further north than New York, but only by one degree of latitude. Although this seems counterintuitive since Rome has much milder winters than New York, this is simply because of the alternating influence of atmospheric pressure and the Westerlies, a group of winds. In reality, the two are almost identically placed along the same latitude line.
