Christine Christie Is this sentence correct No. I think you mean that temperatures are higher in the lower latitudes. Higher latitudes are closer to the poles; lower latitudes are closer to the equator.

You may be right. South latitudes are marked with the "minus" sign, the North ones with "plus". So, strangely enough, the latitudes of the South hemisphere are lower at the pole and higher at the equator
