The Sahara Desert is hot primarily due to its location in the subtropics, where high-pressure systems create dry conditions and intense sunlight. While the equator does influence global climatic patterns, the Sahara itself is located north of the equator, between about 20° and 30° latitude. This positioning, combined with limited vegetation and moisture, contributes to the region's extreme temperatures and aridity.
