Convectional Rainfall Convectional Rainfall
Geography Weather Convectional Rainfall When the land warms up, it heats the air above it. This causes the air to expand and rise. As the air rises it cools and condenses. If this process continues then rain will fall. This type of rainfall is very common in tropical areas but also in areas such as South East England during warm sunny spells. Convectional Rainfall

Geography Weather Frontal Rainfall
When a cold polar air mass meets a warm tropical air mass they do not mix – they form fronts. 2. The colder air mass is heavier, therefore the lighter, warmer air rises over the top. 3. As the warm air is forced to rise it cools. 4. Condensation occurs and clouds form. 5. Rain occurs along the front.
