“Temperature Controls in the city of Port-Au-Prince in Haiti"

The capital city of my country is Port-au-Prince. The latitude and longitude of the capital city is: 18.5333° N, 72.3333° W. The warmest month in my city is year round, but with low precipitation in Decembers with an average monthly temperature of 82.6 F. The coldest month in my city is February with an average monthly temperature of 80.F. Based on the information above the annual range of temperature for my city is: 81.3 F. Website where I found this information: http://www.haiti.climatemps.com.  Port Au Prince is the capital of Haiti, which is located north of the Ecuador and surrounded by large mass of water. Therefore, Haiti major temperature control is “differential Heating of land and water, altitudes and geographic location.”  Because of it’s location Haiti traditional has warmer climate thru out the days.  The only temperature control that I can think of having almost little impact is altitude, however Haiti those have mountain range between its neighboring country the Domican Replublic.  Which, brings to mind the similarity in that range with the mountains that we have here on Oahu.

 In meteorology 101 I have learned factors that affect the earth thru ocean currents and the rise of sea level. I have learned about how light is reflected off land, heating of land and the rise in air temperature. For, Haiti there has been predictions that are out dated, but make sense stating that there would be rainfall or possible drought. Given, the location of Haiti it can possibly have a season of non stop rain or drought with global warming. Haiti is surrounded by ocean; there are variety of factors that affect the ocean current such as the melting of caps, how much sunlight is available and clouds.  Since, Haiti is located about the equator it will have access to more sun, but less season as well.  In conclusion, I believed that with global warming and melting of caps, Haiti will experience more rain that average.
