    Toronto (Kanada) liegt weiter südlich als Florenz (Italien). Dieses Zeichen hat den gleichen Breitengrad wie Toronto. Ich dachte immer, es wäre auf dem Niveau von Norddeutschland/Dänemark

      Crazy how the Mediterranean mitigate the weather. I live a little bit further north of Florence, and still the average yearly temperature is 4 degree higher than Toronto.

      Northern Germany and Denmark are actually on the same level of northern Ontario respecively the coast of Husdon Bay.

      Europe is abnormally warmer that it should be for its latitudes thanks in part to the Gulf Stream, which brings hot water from the Caribbean towards Europe in a north East current. Without it Europe would be significantly colder

      Classic temperate east coast (humid subtropical and humid continental) vs. west coast (mediterranean and oceanic).

      Compare the climates of [Florence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence#Climate) and [Roseburg, Oregon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roseburg,_Oregon#Climate). Both cities share the same latitude.

      [Toronto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto#Climate) is better compared to a city like [Changchun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changchun#Climate), which is also located at the 43rd parallel.

      Toronto so reminds me of New England, especially Boston, in everything from cold winters to being walkable to emphasis on public transit to the craze for sports and universities, although it does have a more British feel to it.

      German-Danish border is about the same latitude as Moscow.

      Also, there is no a single mountain between Toronto and North Pole

      I’m a Canadian living in Europe and often have to explain to people here that Canada’s monopoly on the Great White North doesn’t have any bearing on where people live, and the notion of Canadians as arctic or northern people has nothing to do with reality. Indeed, this underscores Canada’s harshness and uninhabitability: if already 52°N, the latitude shared by Berlin and London, is nothing but rocks and trees, which in much of Canada is the case, you can imagine 60°N, where Oslo and St. Petersburg are located.

      If your hometown is above the 49th parallel you will most likely win a bet who lives farther north with a canadian (70% live further south). If you are Scandinavian, Baltic or Scottish a win is basically guaranteed (95%)

      The southernmost point of Canada, Pelee Island, ON, is at 41.7°, south of the California-Oregon and Spain-Portugal borders, or Rome.

      Is not the sign on the map actually a smidgen NORTH of Toronto?

      If the Atlantic conveyor stops Europeans will really find out what it is like to live in the higher latitudes.

      It’s a mix od the gulfstream and mercatkr nonsense. The north is extremely distorted and the middle half of the earth is squashed severely so it makes understanding lattitude hard if you don’t have a specific reason to understand maps.

      Yep all of the contagious US is further south than the UK, where the most southerly point is around the same latitude as Winnipeg.

      The whole gulf stream and being close to the Atlantic to the west stuff okay, but at what cost?

      The whole Northwestern part of Europe has IMO one of the most depressing climates on earth; together with other high-latitude places next to an ocean.

      Many parts of NWE have higher average yearly temperatures of Toronto, yet…

      … noticeably less sunshine hours

      … no real summers, no real winters

      … no real juicy thunderstorms

      … lack of beautiful crisp cumulus clouds (instead this Stratus crap)

      Like I don’t want to start an entire rant about cool-coastal oceanic climates but Cfb and Cfc-climates in particular deserve a trigger warning

      Dublin at 53° N is far to the north of all major Canadian cities except Edmonton.

      | Toronto       | 43.7° N  |
      | Hamilton      | 43.3° N  |
      | Kitchener     | 43.4° N  |
      | Montreal      | 45.5° N  |

      Some parts of Ontario below the 42nd parallel are further south than the northern edge of California…
