• The rain shadow effect in the belt of easterly trade winds.
• The effect of the cold currents off the west coast of the continents at these latitudes.

Hot deserts (like cold deserts) may result in average temperature cooling because they reflect more of the incoming light (their albedo is higher than that of water or forests).
