About latitude comparisons

When comparing cities at the same latitude, such as Malax 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 Malax's parallel (62.94°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the longitude of Malax?

Malax is located at longitude 21.5731° E. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Pristina (Kosovo), at 21.1669° E in the Northern Hemisphere, and Mweka (Democratic Republic of the Congo), at 21.5595° E in the Southern Hemisphere.

How close are these cities to Malax’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.
