Convectional Rainfall occurs in

🔑Key Points:
Convectional rainfall occurs when the energy of the sun heats the Earth, causing water to evaporate to form water vapour.
Convectional rainfall is prevalent in equatorial regions.
In these, the warm air rises up and expands then, reaches a cooler layer and saturates, then condenses mainly in the form of cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds.
In the equatorial regions, the precipitation due to convectional rainfall occurs in the afternoon.

🛑Important Points:

• Convectional Rainfall:
When the land heats up, it warms the air above it.
This causes the air to expand and rise.
After the air rises, it cools and condenses.
This process of condensation forms clouds high in the atmosphere.
Which results in rainfall.
