Wind Speed

City Latitude vs Max Temperature Scatter Plot created for 01/05/17

The Latitude vs Wind Speed plot displays that wind speeds incrase the further away a city is from the equator. This is more noticeable in the northern hemisphere because the latitude in this plot reaches out to nearly 80 degrees latitude while the southern reaches out to less than -60 degrees.

A possible factor for this may be the the "Coriolis effect" which causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected. The force earth's rotation produces on all bodies moving relative to the earth causes the force to be greatest at the poles and least at the equator.
