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 grew up in Indonesia, rightly located on the equatorial line. The seasons we have is dry and rainy season, before climate change, the dry season usually starts in mid-February until mid-July, and the rest of the months are wet season.
I don’t know about other countries, but in Indonesia the dry/wet seasons are caused by summer/winter in the northern and southern parts of the equator. During winter in the southern part of the earth, the wind gusts from the south through the desert in Australia and thus bring drier air to Indonesia which creates the dry season. During summer in the southern part of the earth, the wind gusts from the north through the Pacific oceans bringing humid air which creates the wet season.
