On the basis of the sources for the uplifting action of the air, there are three categories of rainfall that may occur viz.

1. Convectional rainfall,  

2. Cyclonic/Frontal rainfall.

3. Orographic/Relief rainfall.

Convectional rainfall: This type of rainfall occurs in Singapore.

This is moist air being heated from the ground surface.

Heating of the surface air make it to expands and rise to a higher level.

As the air rises, it comes in contact with cold air at higher level cools and becomes saturated and dew point temperature i.e. the temperature at which water vapor in the air condense gets saturated and then clouds forms.

By further cooling, precipitation takes place.
