A lot of the time, prevailing easterly winds occur in these areas due to dominating high pressure systems. This causes the wind to pass over vast tracts of desert. As a result of this, the air is extremely dry. By the time it reaches the western side of the continent, little moisture is in the air and there is not a lot of precipitation. This effect usually occurs in the 20-30 degrees of latitude.
