the short answer is due to differing weather patterns at different locations on earth. the position you are on the earth and the amount of light you get from the sun determines the length in time of each season. the weather in some places have greater range because of this (ie. winnipeg, Canada) while some have constant weather with mild change (ie. Florida).

EzraTwo cities with the same latitude can have different temperatures due to variations in altitude, proximity to bodies of water, ocean currents, and prevailing winds. These factors can affect the amount of sunlight received, the presence of clouds, and the overall climate of each city.
Yes, and this happens quite often. For instance, Raleigh North Caroline and the Bermuda islands are at approximately the same latitude, but Raleigh has a temperate climate with frequent snowfalls over winter. In contrast, Bermuda has a tropical climate and practically never has any snow. Bermuda and Raleigh are also in different time zones, so they are not at the same time.
The difference in weather between these two locations is due to the prevailing winds over the area. Raleigh nc gets the arctic air from the Canadian land mass due to the jet stream dropping over the winter; Bermuda is influence primarily by the Carribean jet streams and gets much warmer air. Other factors that can cause climate/weather differences at the same latitude include elevation, precipitation and proximity to water such as lakes or oceans.

Why do cities that have the same latitude across the US have different winters and summers?
Cities at the same latitude can experience different climates due to factors such as proximity to oceans, altitude, and prevailing wind patterns. These factors can influence temperature, precipitation, and overall weather patterns, leading to variations in seasons between cities at the same latitude.
How two coastal cities have the same latitude and elevation but are located near different oceans?
Easy, if their longitudes are different. Examples: -- San Francisco and Virginia Beach VA have about the same latitude. -- HongKong and Havana, Cuba have about the same latitude. -- San Diego, Charleston SC, and Casablanca, Morocco have about the same latitude.
Is there any two cities in India located at the same latitude but different climate?
Yes. Climate is influenced by latitude, but is even more strongly influenced by altitude. Cities at sea level are likely to have warmer and wetter climates than cities in the mountains; coastal cities will be very different from inland cities.
Do cities on the same line of latitude have the same time?
Oh, dude, no way! Cities on the same line of latitude don't necessarily have the same time. Time zones are a thing, you know? So, even if you're chilling on the same latitude line, you might be in a different time zone, and that means different times, bro. It's like time traveling without the DeLorean.
Which city does not lie at the same latitude?
There's a HUGE number of cities that aren't at the same latitude
