Wind Speed

As with cloudiness, the scatter plot indicates no relationship at all between latitude and wind speed. Wind speeds appear consistently scattered across all ranges of latitude.

Statistical Analysis

Northern Hemisphere

The R-squared value produced for the northern hemisphere was a meager 0.0012. The fairly even spread of the data points across the plot generated a nearly horizontal linear regression line, which further indicates no correlation.

Southern Hemisphere

The southern hemisphere also produced a very low R-squared value of 0.0075.

Conclusion

The extremely low R-squared values for both hemispheres confirms there is no relationship between wind speed and latitude.
