178. In which months will the North Equatorial Countercurrent be strongest?
The North Equatorial Countercurrent is strongest in July and August due to the seasonal trade-wind and pressure-belt pattern reaching its maximum. This eastward current, located between the North and South Equatorial Currents, is driven by wind patterns and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which shifts northward in the Northern Hemisphere summer, intensifying the current.
