I thought that at first too, but then I saw that Sapporo is is only slightly north of Rome. Crazy.

Sometimes, weather can trick you. It's mind blowing to know that NYC with its dreadful winters is slightly south of Barcelona, or that Newfoundland is at the same latitude as Paris.

would it not have been easier to show the latitude in degrees and minutes rather than fractions of degrees?

As someone who's used them a lot for navigation it's always a mental conversion from decimals with degrees to more practical degrees and minutes, especially with latitude. Still beats the hell out of LORAN.

Those may be capital cities, but are far less smaller than 1,000,000 inhabitants.

Depends how you look. Helsinki itself has only about 630 000 people, but the metropolitan area of Helsinki has about 1,4 million people.

In fact parts of northern Manchester are at a high enough latitude to count. Where in the city is this measured from?

It was Edmonton that caught me, thought all the North American cities were too far south.

They are otherwise but Edmonton is waaaaaay further North than any other Canadian city of even remotely comparable size.

Boggles my mind how many people on this site don't understand the difference between city and urban area. Leeds has 2.6 million in its urban area.

According to your source either Glasgow shouldn't be here because it's population is too small (Urban Areas), or Newcastle should be here (Agglomerations).

The Leeds urban area includes a lot of the smaller settlements around it, like Bradford. And the population of just the city is almost 800,000 - it doesn't take much to knock it up to a million.
