Because Kolkata is located near the equator.
Explanation:
- Even when these two cities are on the same latitudes they are two cities in two different countries.
- It affects their distance from the equator.
- Since Guangzhou is in China and its distance from the equator is 1,598.57 mi that is 2,572.64 mm from north of the equator so it is situated in the northern hemisphere hence it has a low temperature.
- Whereas, Kolkata is nearer to the equator as it is located in India its distance from the equator is 1,560.11 mi that makes 2,519.75 mm from north of equator hence its temperature is high as compared to the Guangzhou.
