Wow look at those depressions in the Indian ocean and the one off the east coast of Japan. Man, judging by the streamline speeds that's going to be a bad storm.

Interesting the winds over the Sahara. South America has very little air movement.

Number of reasons for that. South America has a lot of vegetation. A good portion of it is located within the +5/-5 latitude band. South America also has a lot of mountainous regions. Also, its summer there thus low pressure systems develop overland.
The Sahara lies under a high pressure belt, wind always flows from a high pressure to a low pressure. Coincidentally enough, South Africa lies under the same belt, just in the Southern Hemisphere. (Sub-Tropical High Pressure Belt) Sahara is a desert, so very little in terms of disturbance to the air flow.
Lol.... and some of it's probably foul.
