The temperature of a city mainly depends on the latitude and the altitude rather than the number of daylight hours. Cities near the equator receive more hours of sunlight compared to cities near the poles, but this does not necessarily mean that they are warmer. There are several other factors that affect the temperature of a city, such as ocean currents, prevailing winds, humidity levels, and land-use patterns. Additionally, the amount of solar radiation that a city receives is affected by the time of year, cloud cover, and atmospheric conditions. Therefore, while the number of daylight hours may have some influence, it is not the only or most important factor that determines the temperature of a city.
