- Rainfall is the most common form of precipitation.
- Both orographic and convectional rains occur when moist air over the heated ground becomes warmer, expands, cools down and get saturated.
- Further ascent leads to rainfall.
- Convectional type of rainfall occurs when moist air over the heated ground becomes warmer than the surrounding air and is forced to rise, expand, cool and yield some of its moisture.
- Convectional rainfall is common in lower latitudes and on summer days in interior part of the continents.
- It is always torrential accompanied by lightning and thunder.
- This type of rains mostly occur in the equatorial regions.
- Orographic rainfall occurs when moist wind is forced to rise over mountain ranges in its path.
- The wind ward sides of mountain ranges receive heavy rainfall.
- On the leeward side,as the dry air descends the mountain slopes, receiving very little rain.
- Eg:- This type of rains mostly occur along the western coast of India.
