Due to the Earth’s tilt and position around the Sun, things get very light and warm in summer for us in UK, and then winter becomes very cold and dark. But if you are on the equator, surely the amount of light you get won’t change much?

I live in Quito, Ecuador, like 18 miles south of the equatorial line. The city is almost 9000 foot above sea level, and temperatures go from 15 c to 28 c most of days. Nights could go from 6 c to 12 c. All days during the year have 12 hours, it’s very strange when we travel north or south and realize hoy days can get shorter or longer depending on the season.
We do have a rainy season from October to April, but rains can also appear in any month of the year. Rain is not an issue for cities located in the Andes, but floods are serious stuff in the coastal region and in the Amazon.
