Nothing about the Intertropical convergence zone? --Saperaud 13:38, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Is it worth mentioning that this is (jump) discontinuous even if temperature is locally continuous across the world, and that at some longitudes there are two points of maximum temperature? --Rumping (talk) 14:07, 26 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

But where is it?

edit

The lede currently says

The thermal equator (also known as "the heat equator") is a belt encircling the Earth, defined by the set of locations having the highest mean annual temperature at each longitude around the globe.

But it doesn't say where it is. A map of it would be nice; in addition to that, it would be nice to have a verbal description along the lines of "it varies by longitude between x degrees latitude and y degrees latitude" along with a table of latitudes by various degrees of longitude.
