North American cities replaced with others at the same latitude.

It's interesting how different the weather is at the same latitude. Generally, it seems to be way warmer at the same latitude over here.

[jon-nyc]

Yes. That’s the jet stream at work.

[Klaus]

You mean the gulf stream?

[jon-nyc]

Both really. IIRC the gulf steam takes hot air from the Caribbean and brings it off the east coast and the jet stream takes it across the Atlantic

I remember reading that stuff in school, how Rome was at the same latitude as Chicago. Yeah, it was a geography class on the jet stream that day.

The Gulf Stream has stopped before. If it happens again, Europe would be a mighty chilly place.

Look at that, @LuFins-Dad ! The Madrid of North America!

That is interesting. WHen I think of places in Europe and places in the US, what I imagine and the reality are about 2000 km different (with Europe being much further north than I think)

(side note - Taiwan is about the same latitude as Cuba or south part of FLorida)
