Scientific Speculation - Wet and dry seasons - what are they and how do they form?

While asking questions about building my fantasy world, I keep hearing about wet/dry seasons. Obviously, one has rain and the other doesn't, and I've gathered that they occur with regularity on an annual basis, but what exactly are they? What causes them, and when/how often do they form?

Note: I originally asked this question on Earth Science here. I have gotten no replies. Being unable to move questions between sites, I am now asking it here.
