What are horse latitude winds?
Horse latitude winds are dry, stable, and often calm areas that are found around 30 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. These winds are typically associated with high-pressure systems and are characterized by weak or variable winds. The term "horse latitude" originated from the stories of Spanish sailors throwing their horses overboard when they became stranded in these calm zones during their voyages.
