Cloudiness and heavy precipitation around 150 – 250 cm of rainfall or more in a year, helps to moderate the temperature, so that even at the equator, climate is not unbearable. Cloudiness reduces solar insolation, and precipitation lowers the temperature even from the consistent yearlong solar insolation that is received at the equator
