You're well ahead of us in the north of Scotland!

But the horizontal (x-axis) labels are in the 40s - that's our latitude. 44.6 degrees north, or so.

I'd like to thank climate change for recreating the fuckin' shit-ass Xmas weather of my childhood, but at 43 degrees north latitude.

I’m mainly offended about the “32 degrees north” part. We are famously* at 41 degrees north!!!!

*if you’re into that kind of thing

I'm pretty sure London is actually north of Thunder Bay. Britain's climate is far warmer than its latitude deserves at 50 degrees north.

The number of cities larger than Reykjavik and further north can be counted on one hand. The farthest north is Norilsk, Russia. It's about 5 degrees latitude further north.

Boston is 42 degrees north, Vilnius is 54 degrees north, whereas London, near the south of England is at 51 degrees North. “Baltic” is interchangeable with “English”

Another fun one: Compare Seattle's latitude to Maine.

We're warmer because of offshore currents and various microclimate factors, but we're far enough north that SAD is very common here.

. . . I am at 45 degrees north latitude, so halfway between the equator and the North Pole. The days feel very short just now, but most of Europe has even shorter hours of daylight at this time of year." /2

Roses are red,
Daisies are yellow,
They’re almost blooming on Valentine’s Day around 39 degrees North Latitude,
Whoops!

Very cool! They're always one of the first to bloom here in North Carolina and I'm surprised by how many are around here too.

I always like the Europe to America ones

Venice is further north than Minneapolis
Chicago & Rome are the same latitude
Marseille is the same latitude as Paris
Denver is South of Madrid & Barcelona

Etc...

What about earthquakes at less than 70 km depth?

The biggest change in these from 6.5 degrees north to 0 degrees north is the sudden decrease in occurrence at ~1.7 degrees north.

Stop saying that Virginia opossums are the only opossums in North America!!! They’re NOT. They’re the only one north of Mexico. There are at least 11 species of opossums in North America

The names of the eleven species are below

If they had considered the latitude it would be worse. The inverse latitude of ChCh is the north of Spain Chunks of Northland have antipodes that are in Morocco

We are a few miles south of the 40th parallel here - 39.81 degrees north.

I think most of Scotland is actually further north! I weighed including Vancouver on mine but the latitude is 4 or 5 degrees higher for Scotland

beach at #kokkari #samos #greece with absolutely no waves. this is rare because here the north wind is always strong with heavy surge.

Happy 12 hours of daylight if you're at 38 degrees north

Interesting that the southern most point in Ukraine (Yalta, roughly) is about the same latitude as Halifax, NS.
And the only part of Canada further south than Ukraine is southern Ontario. In North America its easy to forget just how far north all of Europe is.

Way ahead of you here in North Texas

Really puts the NE United States’ discussions of their latitude in perspective. Paris is further north than Seattle which is further north than the top of Maine.

Uncertainty Vice Principal @jeof.bsky.social

Paris, in the middle of Europe, is farther north than Seattle.

?????!!!?!?!? Omg?!?!
Parkfield latitude: 35.9 degrees north
(Not naked eye photos at this point, but long-exposure phone photos pointed due north. This is a very dark sky site.)
