Since some cities are on the same latitude, explain the difference in temperature for the cities.

Latitude indeed is a very important factor which determines the temperature of a city. Cities which are on the same latitude and closer to the Equator will be warmer than cities on the same latitude and closer to the poles.

However, it is not only the latitude which determines the temperature and the climatic conditions of a city. The other important factors which determine the temperature of a city are:

1. The temperature of two cities although lying on the same latitude will vary if one of them is on a sea coast, because cities close to the sea or ocean will enjoy a more equable climate. The city which is inland and far from the sea or ocean will experience extremes in temperature.

2. The temperature of two cities although lying on the same latitude will vary if one of them is at a higher altitude than the other. The city at a higher altitude will be colder than the city on a lower altitude.
