Based on climate, which city is best for you?

1. Go through the temperature list and cycle between the different temperatures, what do you notice?

2. Select hot, windy, and I don’t care for “Has Snow or Not”, what cities come up? Does this make sense given their location?

3. Set all lists to “I don’t care”, which city has the highest precipitation in August? Does this make sense?

4. Control-click (on the map) Phoenix, Arizona and Anchorage, Alaska. Compare their temperature and precipitation, what did you find?

The question we wanted to answer was “Based on the Climate, Which City Fits You Best?”. We decided to include a bar graph of the temperature for each city over the course of a year, a line graph of precipitation over the year for each city and a map that tells users where the cities are. We also included lists for the desired temperature, wind, snow and a option for desired amount of rainfall. This lets users select their preferences and find the cities that fit that criteria. This presentation effectively answers the question we posed and allows users to explore the data and answer further in depth questions below the visualization.
