Description: This is a map from 1898 showing seasonal worldwide heat belts during July (top) and January (middle), with a combined map showing overall heat changes during the year (bottom). "The boundaries of the true heat belts in January and in July are shown...Each boundary line is an isotherm; that is, a line passing through places having the same temperature. The boundary of the cold belt has about the temperature of freezing water (30°[F]); that of the hot belt has the comfortable temperature of a sitting room (70°[F]." —Redway, 1898.
