Why am I getting a syntax error for my elif statement?

Below is a copy of my code. I keep getting a syntax error for elif centralLat and centralLong. I don't understand why. I indented everything correctly. The first if easternLat and easternLong works. Why don't the elif statements for centralLong and centralLat, etc work?

For this assignment, I have to check each latitude and longitude for a specific time zone and calculate the happiness score for a timezone. This happiness score is the sum of the sentiment values of tweets in a timezone divided by the number of tweets in a timezone.

Why do I keep getting an error?

for line in infile2:
        line=line.rstrip()
        words=line.split()
        firststriplat=words[0].rstrip(",")
        lat=firststriplat.lstrip("[")
        lat=float(lat)
        long=words[1].rstrip("]")
        long=float(long)
        easternLat= 24.660845 <= lat and lat<=49.189787
        easternLong= -87.518395 <= long <= -67.444574
        centralLat= 24.660845 <= lat and lat<=49.189787
        centralLong= -101.998892 <= long <= -87.518395
        mountainLat=24.660845 <= lat and lat<=49.189787
        mountainLong=-115.236428 <= long <= -101.998892
        pacificLat=24.660845 <= lat and lat<=49.189787
        pacificLong= -125.242264<= long <= -115.236428
        if easternLat and easternLong:
            for word in words:

Let's take one small portion of your code.

1    if easternLat and easternLong:
2        for word in words:
3            ...
4    numOfTweetsEastern=numOfTweetsEastern+1
5    sentimentValueEastern=(depressedKeys*DEPRESSEDVALUE)+(okayKeys*OKAYVALUE)+(goodKeys*GOODVALUE)+(happyKeys*HAPPYVALUE)
6    elif centralLat and centralLong:
7        for word in words:
8            ...

This is one if statement (line 1), which contains a for loop (2).
Then after the if statement are two lines (4 and 5).
Then there is the elif statement (6).

Those lines (4 and 5) prevent the elif from pairing up with the if.

If those lines (4 and 5) are supposed to be part of your if statement, they should be indented accordingly.

1    if easternLat and easternLong:
2        for word in words:
3            ...
4        numOfTweetsEastern=numOfTweetsEastern+1
5        sentimentValueEastern=(depressedKeys*DEPRESSEDVALUE)+(okayKeys*OKAYVALUE)+(goodKeys*GOODVALUE)+(happyKeys*HAPPYVALUE)
6    elif centralLat and centralLong:
7        for word in words:
8            ...

This would produce a valid if/elif structure.
