Research – The surprising link between your birthday and place of birth in one heat map

Data Driven Journalism: “…Take a look at [the heat map in this article], created by the team at Visme. Based on the most recent UN data on live births, it clearly shows that there is a rather surprising and unexpected correlation between three different variables: the top birth months, seasons of the year and the latitude of the country (distance from the equator)…After looking at this data visualization carefully, did you notice that the top birth months for most northern hemisphere countries are July, August and September? And did you notice that the lower you go down the list, the farther right the top birth months appear, eventually spilling over into the first months of the year? While the majority of the middle-latitude (or tropical) countries register September and October as their top birth months, Southern hemisphere countries such as Uruguay register their top birth months at the start of the year…” [Facebook may already now all this, but….]
