THE FORMATION OF THE RAIN
Convectional rainfall occurs when:
The surface of the ocean/sea is heated by the sun. Then the warm surface heats the air above it. Hot air always rises so this newly heated air does so. After that, as it rises the air_cool and begins to condensate. Further rising and cooling causes a large amount of condensation to occur and rain is formed. Finally, convection tends to produce towering cumulo-nimbus clouds, which produce heavy rain and possible thunder and lightning.
Turbulence in the atmosphere and surface obstructions such as hills and mountains provide the initial upward push for the air. This rainfall occurs throughout the year near the equator daily in the afternoon. In middle latitudes, convectional rainfall occurs in early summer, in continental interiors.
