See explanation.

Explanation:

The angle of incidence of solar rays at the equator is #0^o# at

Vernal Equinoxes ( about March 21 ) and increases to #23.4^o# on

Summer Solstice ( about June 21 ). It is back to #0^o# at Autumnal

Equinox ( about September 22 ) and then increase to #23.4^o# o at

Winter Solstice ( about December 21 ). Accordingly,, there are local

temperature maxima at equinoxes and local minima at Solstices.

This is the basis for main climate changes at the equator.
