The intertropical convergence zones are areas directly along the equator where winds from the northern and Southern Hemisphere interact, usually as masses of clouds and thunderstorms.

This is the 'convergence' or meeting point of two air masses in between the two tropics. This is the point where the two Hadley cells meet. This is marked by an area of low pressure.

The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a region near the equator where winds from the northern and southern hemispheres come together. Consequences of the ITCZ's movement are the "monsoon seasons" that affect areas in the tropics, as well as the formation of tropical storms during the local hemispheric summer (north or south of the equator). Navigators in the age of sail learned to utilize the "trade winds" that blow to the east along the edge of the ITCZ.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone is also called the Equatorial Convergence Zone. It features heavy precipitation, lies near the Equator, and it is where all trade winds collide.
