In this project, we investigated differences in air temperatures at different latitudes on the first days of the seasons. The data we used in the research were found on THE GLOBE pages, more precisely in the GLOBE visualization. We selected five schools, namely GLOBE stations at different latitudes and in different heat belts for research purposes. The time period of the research covered the period from 1.1.2021. to 31.12.2022. and four dates were selected on the first day of the onset of the seasons in 2021 and 2022. The hypothesis that the average daily air temperature is lower at higher latitudes has been confirmed in part because air temperature is also affected by the station's altitude. At the measuring station in the topical belt is The 2nd Secondary Girls School at Jaza which had the highest temperature of all schools on 21.6. The smallest difference in the season between daily air temperature is held by schools in Texas and Saudi Arabia. Moving away from the equator towards the northern hemisphere, there is a greater difference in seasonal temperature. The farther is the location of the school from the equator it will have the greater seasonal changes what we see in the example of Innoko River school. The least seasonal differences were the two schools Santa Fe Jr. High Schhol and The 2nd Secondary Girls School at Jazan because they are located near the equator or in the tropical belt.
