Doldrums form over the equator because of the high tempuratures. Doldrums are areas around the equator that receive little wind. Heating causes air to expand, creating a zone of low pressure. This concludes that cloudy weather and rain develop almost every single afternoon.

The doldrum winds, or more specifically areas of nearly no winds over ocean waters, are found near the equator. The Trade Winds are on both sides of the doldrums.
