From July 21-30 2006, the African portion of the Intertropical Convergence Zone was located near 17.3 degrees north latitude, compared to the 1988-2005 climatological mean of 18.3 degrees north, and a position last year of 18.1N. This location is 0.1 degrees north from the previous dekad. In the west (10W-10E), the ITCZ was pushed south by strong northwesterly winds, especially over Mauritania. However, since the air was from off of the ocean it contained high amounts of moisture. As a result, significant rains fell north of the ITCZ. The ITCZ was located near 18.3N, compared with a normal position of 19.3N and a position last year of 18.5N. In the east (20-35E), the ITCZ was located near 16.5N, while it is normally located near 16.6N, and was located at 18.0N last year.

Otherwise the ITCZ is approximately normal

The ITCZ was located near 18.3 degrees north latitude, or 0.4 degrees south of normal compared to the 1988- 2005 climatological mean of 18.7 degrees north.. Last year at this time

In the east (from 20E-35E) the ITCZ also peaked a dekad early, though its maximum northward position this year was almost a degree and a half further north than normal

Based on the past three periods of data, it appears that the African portion of the Intertropical Convergence Zone peaked around a dekad earlier (during August 1-10) than

Last year at this time the ITCZ was at 18.0N

During he final part of August the ITCZ was located near 18.9 degrees north latitude, or 0.7 degrees north of normal compared to the 1988-2005 climatological mean of 18.2

This compares with a normal position of 16.7N and a position last year of 16.4N

During the period from July 1 - 10, 2007, the African portion of the ITCZ was located near 17.5 degrees north latitude when averaged over the ten day period and from 15W-35E..

On average, during the current dekadal period, the ITCZ was located near 18.2 degrees north latitude, compared to the normal of 17.5N

From July 11-20, 2005, the African portion of the ITCZ continues to be located north of normal, except over the region from eastern Niger to western Chad.. On average, during

In the west (10W-10E), the ITCZ was located near 18.6N, compared with a normal position of 18.7N and a position last year of 19.4N

This location is 0.8 degrees north from the

In the east, from 20E-35E, the ITCZ was located near 13.9N, compared with 13.5N for the mean, and 13.4N for last year

Contributing to the rapid northward movement of the discontinuity, a strong frontal system pushed through the Sahel during the week, bringing enhanced southerly winds and

In the east, from 20E-35E, the ITCZ was located near 14.2 degrees north latitude, compared to the long term normal of 13.9N

During the period from June 11-20, 2005, the African portion of the Intertropical Discontinuity was located at approximately 16.0 degrees north latitude when averaged over the ten
