En été les dépressions thermiques continentales favorisent l'arrivée sur les continents de masses d'air maritime très humide accompagnées de nuages abondants et de précipitations, souvent diluviennes, c'est la saison des pluies; en hiver au contraire, les hautes pressions qui s'établissent sur les continents entraînent l'advection d'air continental beaucoup plus sec, c'est la saison sèche.
