Temperature Controls in the city of Ottawa in Canada

Today in this post I give you some information about the capital city of Canada. I talk about the geographic location of the city and some different temperature variations. I give you the average temperature of the hottest and coldest months and then the average annual temperature. I also talk about one temperature control that affects the city and one that does not. Lastly I express my prediction about the future climate changes because of these temperature controls.

The capital city of my country is Ottawa. The latitude of Ottawa is 45.4214° N, and the longitude is 75.6919° W. The warmest month in my city is July with the average temperature being 80° F. The coldest month in my city is January with the average temperature being 5.4° F. Based on the information above the annual range of temperature for my city is 42° F.

The website where I found this information is:

One temperature control that affect Ottawa is the geographic location. Ottawa has semi-contential climate, with warm, humid summers and a very cold winter. The neutral location of Ottawa gives it a variety of different climates throughout the year. One temperature control that doesn't affect the city of Ottawa is altitude. Ottawa's altitude is 230 ft. This altitude doesn't drastically give a change in Ottawa's climate. Ottawa is a mild city that has four distinct seasons.

I believe that there is no major factor that with change the temperature of Canada. My prediction if the temperature were to change in the city of Ottawa it would be that the temperature in the summers is going to getter warmer and the temperature in the winters will get colder.

Learning about all the information about the location and climate of Ottawa was really interesting. I now know the exact longitude and latitude and what the average temperatures are in the winter and summers. I think Canada's capital city Ottawa has nice weather. I like the distinct four season and how the weather matches each season.
