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

There is now. Only a comment to link the two pages, but I don't think more is necessary. Denni ☯ 02:36, 2005 Mar 20 (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?

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.

I second this request -- I would love to see a map with the line of where the thermal equator is estimated to be. 24.7.113.92 (talk) 21:24, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
