The equator is an area of low atmospheric pressure because it recieves the most sunlight out of any place on earth. This means that the level of evaporation is higher, an therefore there is more moisture in the atmosphere. This water could come from large aread of water such as the Amazon in the Amazon rainforest.This low pressure system creates storms with large amounts of precipitation.

It rains so much because the prevailing wind comes in from the sea and that means it's moist. It then rains and the water evaporates, as it rises, it cools and moistens. When it gets enough water vapour, it rains. Repeat.
