This is a D3.js Heatmap example showing how the highest sun position of the day (which directly correlates with average temperature) changes over the year depending on the latitude of the place. The actual temperature chart would be shifted to the right a bit beacuse of thermal lag.
The data for the chart is calculated using SunCalc.
