Convectional rainfall
The sun heats the land. Warm air rises,cools and condenses, forming clouds. Clouds are formed and rain occurs. This is a type of rainfall that is common in south east England.
Relief rainfall
Prevailing winds bring warm, moist air. This air is forced to rise over high areas. As the warm air rises, it cools and condenses forming clouds and it rains. As the air descends on the other side of the mountain and becomes warmer and dries, the rain stops, this is called a rain shadow.
Frontal rainfall
Two air masses meet, one warm, one cold. The lighter, less dense, warm air is forced to rise over the denser, cold air. As it rises, the air cools quickly, condensation occurs and clouds form.
