Convectional or convective rainfall occurs due to thermal convection currents caused by insolation heating of the ground surface. Orographic rainfall occurs due to the accent of air from highland. Cyclonic or frontal rainfall occurs due to upward movement of air caused by convergence of contrasting wind. Convectional rainfall occurs most frequently in regions that are extremely hot, either during the day, as in the tropics, or during the summer, as in temperate areas. When the sun's energy heats the Earth's surface, water evaporates to produce water vapor, resulting in convectional rainfall. Convectional rainfall is a type of rainfall that involves the formation of convection currents. The cyclonic rainfall, on the other hand, is caused due to cyclones. A cyclone has a warm front and a cold front with a substantial difference in the temperatures.

The warm air above the land surface expands and rises. The rising warm air cools and condenses, forming cumulus clouds. This results in a rainfall known as convectional rainfall. The equatorial region receives convectional rainfall during the afternoon on a daily basis. The convectional rainfall occurs due to the thermal convection currents caused due to the heating of ground due to insulation. The convectional rainfall is prevalent in equatorial regions. orographic rainfall occurs in most part of the world. Winds coming from lakes or seas are moisture-laden. They are obstructed by the high mountain ranges coming in their way. They start going upwards along the slope of the mountains, the temperature of these winds drop and condensation occurs and rainfall takes place. Cyclonic rainfall also known as Frontal rainfall occurs when cooler air and warmer humid air meet in a weather front. The less dense warm air rises and condenses forming clouds. These clouds grow in size and become heavy and eventually create rainfall. Convective precipitation is generally more intense, and of shorter duration, than stratiform precipitation. Orographic precipitation occurs when moist air is forced upwards over rising terrain and condenses on the slope, such as a mountain. Convectional rainfall is a type of rainfall that involves the formation of convection currents. The cyclonic rainfall, on the other hand, is caused due to cyclones. A cyclone has a warm front and a cold front with a substantial difference in the temperatures. Convectional or convective rainfall occurs due to thermal convection currents caused by insolation heating of the ground surface. Orographic rainfall occurs due to the accent of air from highland. Cyclonic or frontal rainfall occurs due to upward movement of air caused by convergence of contrasting wind. Cyclonic rains are caused when the warm moist air comes in contact with cool dry air. At the end of summer, the air above the water heats up and rises creating an area of low pressure. So, the high pressure cold air starts rushing in. Convectional rainfall occurs or develops as warm and moist air rises up and condenses. When the air near the earth surface is heated, it rises and expands. This heating results in the formation of convectional air currents which results in convectional rainfall. Convectional rainfall occurs most frequently in regions that are extremely hot, either during the day, as in the tropics, or during the summer, as in temperate areas. When the sun's energy heats the Earth's surface, water evaporates to produce water vapor, resulting in convectional rainfall.
