Is the weather similar in countries with the same latitude on the earth?

Not necessarily.

For example, you will understand: for example, on the Tropic of Cancer, the hot and dry climate of the Sahara Desert is due to the subtropical zone near the Tropic of Cancer, which is controlled by subtropical high and northeast trade winds from arid areas in Asia all the year round, with little precipitation and hot all the year round, so it is dry and rainy, forming a desert!

It's different from the one at the same latitude! The weather conditions in different parts of the subtropical high are different. In the subtropical high pressure area, the weather is generally sunny, so when it controls a certain area for a long time, it will often cause long-term high temperature and drought in the area, but when the conditions are right, local geothermal thunderstorms sometimes occur; On the south side of the western Pacific high, typhoons are frequent. In its easterly airflow, easterly waves often form and move westward, affecting Guizhou, the east of Guangxi and the south of the Yangtze River, causing thunderstorms and heavy rains. On the north and northwest side of the subtropical high, a large amount of water vapor is brought from the sea because of the southerly airflow in the west. When there is a trough or vortex weather system in the westerly belt, it will produce a wide range of rain belt. For example, South China is very different from the Sahara Desert:)
