Use of commas for such that followed by two sentences

Consider the sentence




The sun shines such that it is warm and water evaporates.





The two parts of the sentence "it is warm" and "water evaporates" are independent sentences and a comma should be placed between them.




The sun shines such that it is warm, and water evaporates.




But this reads like





The sun shines such that it is warm. Water evaporates.




I would like to convey that both "it is warm" and "water evaporates" are a consequence of the sun shining without ending up with an extremely long sentence. What's the best way to rephrase this?
