Low latitude deserts, such as the Sahara or the Arabian Desert, are primarily influenced by high temperatures and low precipitation. These regions are typically located around 20 to 30 degrees north and south of the equator, where descending air from the Hadley cells creates high-pressure systems. This results in arid conditions with minimal rainfall, often less than 250 mm annually, and high evaporation rates. Additionally, the intense solar radiation in these areas contributes to extreme heat, further exacerbating the desert climate.
