Explain how two cities in similar latitudes with the same mean annual temperature can have different climates
The mean annual temperature is the temperature determined from the average of monthly mean temperatures for a given location during a given year. Even though two cities may have the same mean annual temperature, they may have very different annual temperature ranges. Where one city may experience fairly temperate weather year round, the other city may have times of extreme highs and lows. Their mean annual temperatures may be the same, but the behavior and ranges of their temperatures differ greatly.
