Question

Briefly explain cyclonic rainfall

Answer 1

Frontal (or Cyclonic) Rain is caused bycyclonic activity and it occurs along the fronts of the cyclone. It is formed when two masses of air of different temperature, humidity and density meets.

Answer 2

Cyclonic or 'frontal' rain occurs where two air masses meet and form a 'front.' The warmer, moisture laden air rises over the colder air as a 'warm front'. As the air rises it cools, and its relative humidity increases. Clouds form as water vapor condenses, and then fall as rain.
