Do countries on the equator not experience seasons?

727 views

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 have a friend who lived in Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia, which is pretty much right on the equator. When I visited him there, he explained their weather:

* There’s the dry season. Every day is 32°C, overcast, with 100% humidity. It feels like it’s going to rain, but it doesn’t rain.

* Then there’s the wet season. Every day is 32°C, overcast, with 100% humidity. It feels like it’s going to rain, and at about 4pm it does rain, very heavily.

So yeah, they have seasons.
