This Photo from the NASA observatory website is a clear depiction of the ITCZ from a couple of weeks ago. The line of clouds running across the Northern sector of South America and across both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is a result of the area receiving the most insolation, therefore the most evapotranspiration, and low pressure forming as a result of the continued rise of warm air. Remember, it is the Long Wave Terrestrial Radiation that heats the air, not the incoming UV.
