There is absolutely no evidence that climate has anything to do with the onset of menarche/puberty.<ref name="HuBioVol73">Frederic Thomas, François Renaud, Eric Benefice, Thierry de Meeus, Jean-Francois Guegan, "[{{Reference archive|1=http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/human_biology/v073/73.2thomas.pdf|2=2013-01-11}} International Variability of Ages at Menarche and Menopause: Patterns and Main Determinants]," Human Biology: Volume 73, Number 2, April 2001, pp. 271-290, 10.1353/hub.2001.0029

For example, the mean ages at menarche for Denmark, Finland and the United Kingdom are 13.0, 13.2 and 13.3. In comparison, the mean ages at menarche for Senegal, Tanzania and Yemen  are 16.1, 15.21 and 14.4.<ref name="HuBioVol73"></ref>

For girls in the Medieval (5^th to 15^th century) Middle East, the average age at menarche was between 12 to 13 years of age, not 9. In fact, the average age at menarche for Medieval Europeans was very similar, at 12 to 14 years of age.<ref name="Mum.org">[{{Reference archive|1=http://www.mum.org/menarage.htm|2=2013-01-11}} Average age at menarche in various cultures] - Mum.org, accessed January 12, 2013</ref>
