What was the climate like on Pangaea? Were there any strange (to us) weather phenomena due to all continents being merged together?

Since the ocean currents would behave differently, and the landmass was distributed less evenly, surely that affected the weather patterns. How was the climate of Pangaea different than the modern era?

I understand that the oceans moderate the temperature, and away from the oceans, the summers are hotter and the winters are colder.  That's how it is in the continental United States.  I've heard that the middle of a supercontinent would be a desert, because of the extreme  seasons, and because rain clouds originate from the ocean and might exhaust themselves of rain before they drift that far inland.
