SINGAPORE

 Singapore is one-and-a-half degrees north of the equator, lying entirely between the 1st and 2nd parallels
 Singapore's climate is classified as tropical rainforest climate, with no true distinct seasons
 Owing to its geographical location and maritime exposure, its climate is characterized by uniform temperature and pressure,
high humidity and abundant rainfall. Therefore, it is almost always warm and wet.
 The temperature hovers around a diurnal range of a minimum of 25 °C (77.0 °F) and a maximum of 33 °C (91.4 °F). May is the
hottest month of the year in Singapore, followed by June.

 Relative humidity has a diurnal range in the high 90s in the early morning to around 60% in the mid-afternoon, but does go
below 50% at times. During prolonged heavy rain, relative humidity often reaches 100%. Generally, there is much more rainfall
on the western side of the island than on the eastern portion of Singapore, owing to a rain shadow effect.
 Thus, the eastern side of Singapore is much drier and slightly hotter than western Singapore. This can cause slight weather
disparities from one side of the island to the other. This is significant to note because even a small hill such as Bukit Timah
Hill can cause this phenomenon. Despite Singapore's small size, there may be sunshine on one side while there is rain on the
other.
 Further contrasts that prevent true all-year uniformity are the monsoon seasons which happen twice each year. The first one is
the Northeast Monsoon which occurs from mid-November to early March. The second is the Southwest Monsoon season which
occurs from June to September. Periods between monsoon seasons receive less rain and wind. During the Northeast Monsoon,
northeast winds prevail, sometimes reach 20 km/h (12 mph). There are cloudy conditions in December and January with
frequent afternoon showers.

TOKYO

 The former city of Tokyo and the majority of Tokyo prefecture lie in the humid subtropical climate zone with hot, humid
summers and mild to cool winters with occasional cold spells.
 Tokyo is 2,465.91 mi (3,968.50 km) north of the equator, so it is located in the northern hemisphere

Tokyo is located at latitude 35.6895 and longitude 139.69171. It is part of Asia and the northern hemisphere.

MOSCOW

 More extreme continental climates at the same latitude- such as parts of Eastern Canada or Siberia- have much colder winters
than Moscow, suggesting that there is still significant moderation from the Atlantic Ocean despite the fact that Moscow is far
from the sea
 More extreme continental climates at the same latitude- such as parts of Eastern Canada or Siberia- have much colder winters
than Moscow, suggesting that there is still significant moderation from the Atlantic Ocean despite the fact that Moscow is far
from the sea
 Monthly rainfall totals vary minimally throughout the year, although the precipitation levels tend to be higher during the
summer than during the winter. Due to the significant variation in temperature between the winter and summer months as
well as the limited fluctuation in precipitation levels during the summer, Moscow is considered to be within a continental
climate zone
 Snow cover (averaging 5–7 months per year) forms at the end of October and melts by the start of April, although in recent
years has not lasted as long as usual.
 On average Moscow has 1731 hours of sunshine in a year.

minutes on June 22. The maximum height of the sun above the horizon is 11° on 22 December and 58° on 22 June

NEW DELHI
Delhi is 1,978.51 mi (3,184.11 km) north of the equator, so it is located in the northern hemisphere

 The climate of Delhi is an overlap between monsoon-influenced humid subtropical and semi-arid with high variation between

summer and winter temperatures and precipitation. Delhi's version of a humid subtropical climate is markedly different from
many other humid subtropical cities

 SEASONS

 Delhi lies in the landlocked Northern Plains of the Indian Subcontinent. Its climate is greatly influenced by its proximity to
the Himalayas and the Thar Desert, causing it to experience both weather extremes. Delhi has 5 distinct seasons, viz. Spring,
Summer, Rainy, Autumn and Winter.[11] Broadly speaking, Delhi has long and scorching summers- sub-divided into summer and
monsoon seasons, short and cold winters, and two bouts of pleasant transition seasons. Two most important wind patterns
influencing Delhi's climate are the Western Disturbance and the South-West Winds.

 Day-length variatioN

 Located at 28°36′36″N latitude, Delhi lies in the sub-tropical belt of earth's North Temperate geographical region, a few
latitudes north of the Tropic of Cancer. As such the rotation of earth has its effect on the city's day-length, which shortens
during winters and lengthens during summers. Between the two solstices, Delhi's day-length changes by about 4 hours, offset
by some 2 hours each at sunrise and sunset
ISTANBUL
Istanbul (/ˌɪstænˈbʊl/ IST-an-BUUL,[7][8] US also /ˈɪstænbʊl/ IST-an-buul; Turkish: İstanbul is the largest city in Turkey and the country's
economic, cultural and historic centeR

Turkey is situated at a latitude of 38.9637° N, and a longitude of 35.2433° E. These GPS coordinates refer
to Turkey's location on a map grid of the world. The latitude will tell you whether the country lies above or below
the equator. Since Turkey has latitude in the north, the country is above the equator
Istanbul is located in north-western Turkey and straddles the strait Bosporus, which provides the only passage from the Black Sea to
the Mediterranean via the Sea of Marmara

 Istanbul's weather is strongly influenced by the Sea of Marmara to the south, and the Black Sea to the north. This moderates
temperature swings and produces a mild temperate climate with low diurnal temperature variation. Consequently, Istanbul's
temperatures almost always oscillate between −5 °C (23 °F) and 32 °C (90 °F),[94] and most of the city does not experience
temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F) for more than 14 days a year.[95] Another effect of Istanbul's maritime position is its
persistently high dew points, near-saturation morning humidity, [96] and frequent fog,[97][94] which also limits Istanbul's sunshine
hours to levels closer to Western Europe.

 As Istanbul is only slightly rain shadowed from Mediterranean storms and is otherwise surrounded by water, it usually receives
some amount of precipitation from both Western European and Mediterranean systems. This results in frequent precipitation
during the winter months; January averages 20 days of precipitation when counting trace accumulations, [99] 17 when using a 0.1
mm threshold, and 12 when using a 1.0 mm threshold.[100]
 Because of its hilly topography and maritime influences, Istanbul exhibits a multitude of distinct microclimates.[101] Within the
city, rainfall varies widely owing to the rain shadow of the hills in Istanbul, from around 600 millimeters (24 in) on the southern
fringe at Florya to 1,200 millimeters (47 in) on the northern fringe at Bahçeköy.[102] Furthermore, while the city itself lies in USDA
hardiness zones 9a to 9b, its inland suburbs lie in zone 8b with isolated pockets of zone 8a, restricting the cultivation of cold-
hardy subtropical plants to the coasts
