Q4 Second statement “It is associated with minimum amount of cloudiness.” Isn’t this incorrect, as my understanding and the explanation itself states that “condenses mainly in the form of cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds.” Can anyone please clear this?

Conventional Rainfall
The, air on being heated, becomes light and rises up in convection currents. As it rises, it expands and loses heat and consequently, condensation takes place and cumulous clouds are formed. This process releases latent heat of condensation which further heats the air and forces the air to go further up.
Convectional precipitation is heavy but of short duration, highly localised and is associated with minimum amount of cloudiness. It occurs mainly during summer and is common over equatorial doldrums in the Congo basin, the Amazon basin and the islands of south-east Asia.
-The doldrums is a colloquial expression derived from historical maritime usage, which refers to those parts of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean affected by a low-pressure area around the equator where the prevailing winds are calm. The doldrums are also noted for calm periods when the winds disappear altogether, trapping sailing ships for periods of days or weeks. The term appears to have arisen in the eighteenth century, when trans-equator sailing voyages became more common. Since this zone is where two trade winds meet, it is also called the Intertropical Convergence Zone. They roughly lie between latitudes 5° north and south
-Cold climates increase rates of physical weathering, because different minerals expand and contract at different rates when they are heated, so repeatedly heating and cooling the rock eventually causes it to fracture. Desert and mountain climates experience a wide range of temperatures so physical weathering through fracturing accelerates in these environments.
