About latitude comparisons
When comparing cities at the same latitude, such as Kontiolahti and its global counterparts, it is important to remember that while they share identical daylight hours and similar solar angles throughout the year, their climates may differ drastically. Factors including elevation, proximity to oceans, and dominant wind patterns shape the local environment just as much as solar positioning.
The results shown here are cities located within ±0.5 degrees of Kontiolahti's parallel (62.76°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the longitude of Kontiolahti?
Kontiolahti is located at longitude 29.8471° E. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Saint Petersburg (Russia), at 30.3141° E in the Northern Hemisphere, and Kigali (Rwanda), at 30.0589° E in the Southern Hemisphere.
How close are these cities to Kontiolahti’s latitude?

Does this map show exact city boundaries?
No. Map markers and latitude values use city reference coordinates. They help compare locations on a parallel, but do not represent municipal boundaries.
Do these cities share the same climate?
Not necessarily. Latitude is only one influence on climate; altitude, coastlines, ocean currents and local terrain also matter.
