I'll try my best, but it might be difficult given the position and relative flatness of the island... If you're up for it, adding some difference in elevation (800m+ seems to be the line for rain shadow effect to be significant) will help a lot. This is actually one of the reasons (beside their Chill Zone) why /morig/ of similar latitude manage to get a strip of Mediterranean climate.

I often have a setlist of things that I want people who read my writing to know, so the story's scenes are simply a way to string those together in a manner that resembles how the character's attention might jump between them.
That's why the opening paragraphs are about how the forest around them begins to thin as human activities take their toll on the rainforest (since there's barely anything else around), then the view opens up to the vast milpa at the edge of the forest, where the stalks of maize naturally catch the attention of the risuners first, by virtue of them being the tallest, before leading to the peas and chilli climbing on them, then the pumpkins between the dirt mounds.
The same logic is applied to the temple as well, as the statue is naturally the first thing people look at, before their attention turns to the temple behind, first on the walls and then on the large stairs between the walls. This way, there's a sense of natural flow of objects that should paint a more concrete picture in the readers' mind even if they just skim over the lines.
I actually learnt that when I was learning to write fight scenes, with the same logic applying to combat moves. That's why a good fight scene has a rhythm to it that is easy to follow even when things are happening fast, while bad fight scenes tend to force you to pause every few seconds to catch up, if not outright tune out entirely.

I mean yes, but the thing is that a story (even when it's just a platform for me to lay out my worldbuilding) is that it should be at least somewhat enjoyable in its own right for people to, you know, read it.
