Seasonal pressure areas over continents located in both northern and southern hemispheres
On a real world Earth, the seasonal changes in temperature of continents create high-pressure areas during winter in that hemisphere, and low-pressure areas during summer in that hemisphere.
Should an Earth-like planet have a continent, that is stretched across the equator, having significant area in both hemispheres, would it form two different pressure centers due east from its longitudinal middle? For example, during January, would it have high-pressure area in the north and low-pressure area in the south?
To be specific, let's suppose the continent is an elliptic blob, that reaches latitudes of at least 45 degrees in both hemispheres, and its length along the equator is at least 10000 kilometers.
