In today’s lesson, we discussed the factors affecting temperatures around the world, having previously covered weather instruments and climate graphs. Key factors include latitude, maritime effect, altitude, prevailing winds, and ocean currents, which all influence why certain areas experience different temperatures, such as why it can snow in some locations but not in others like Malta. We explored how latitude determines temperature based on the angle of sunlight, with the equator being warmer and the poles colder due to the widespread distribution of sunlight. Additionally, we examined the maritime effect, explaining how temperature differences between land and sea create convection currents and influence local weather patterns, including phenomena like sea breezes.
