The Coriolis effect explains this phenomenon clearly. Pressure belts and wind belts differ in patterns depending on certain atmospheric factors like temperature.
High atmospheric pressure generally suppresses the development of rain clouds. The earth has belts of high pressure, usually between latitudes of 25 - 35 degrees north or south, where many of the earth's deserts are located.
The convection cells radiate heat.
Prevailing winds Easterlies
Atmospheric flows are forced into belts and zones
belts sink and zones rise

It is the temperature which controls the pressure belts and ,therefore, as the sun moves from one tropic to another, the pressure belts also do the same.This phenomenon is called as shifting of pressure belts.
the shifting of pressure belts causes some places to be in different wind belts during the year thus affecting their climates... the belts of precipitation associated with them also change their positions when pressure belts shift with the seasons.
Its caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect.
Because high pressure belts have sinking motion and dry conditions. Low pressure belts have rising motions and havey rainfall. pce
