Description: A double hemisphere map of the earth from 1901 showing the Heat Equator (defined by the highest mean annual temperature at each longitude around the globe, not by latitude), Cold Belt, Temperate Belt, and Hot Belt of the East and West hemispheres during the month of January. The line of the Heat Equator in close proximity to the geographic Equator highlights the moderating effect of the ocean waters on temperatures during the southern summer.
