If you took a trip near the equator, you would expect to find the trade winds. These winds generally blow from east to west due to the Coriolis effect and the rotation of the Earth. Near the equator, the winds are usually calm in a region known as the Doldrums, where the trade winds from both hemispheres meet. This area is characterized by light and variable winds, often leading to humid conditions and frequent thunderstorms.
