Answer:

Scarcity of Rainfall

Step-by-step explanation:

Dryness rather than heat is what makes the Sahara a desert climate. Divergent air masses within the high-pressure system dry the air before fronts can form. Even the subtropical zones near the west see relatively low amounts of precipitation.
