The northern part of Africa, particularly the Sahara Desert region, receives very little precipitation due to its location in the subtropical high-pressure belt. This area is dominated by descending air that inhibits cloud formation and rainfall. Additionally, the presence of the cold Canary Current along the northwest coast limits moisture availability, contributing to the arid climate. The combination of these factors results in extremely low annual precipitation across much of northern Africa.
