/hint -

  • Convectional precipitation is caused to great heights by the traditional ascent of warm and humid air

/imp

  • Convectional precipitation is heavy but highly localized and a minimum amount of cloudiness is associated with it.
  • Vertical air currents are produced due to the excessive heating of the earth's surface in the summer months.
  • It expands and cools as the surface air increases, and gradually gets saturated. Condensation and precipitation accompany this. 
  • Orographic precipitation occurs when landform barriers such as mountain ranges are struck by warm and humid air and forced to rise.
  • The windward slope of a mountain range receives more precipitation than the leeward slope in orographic precipitation because the air descends down the slope and gets warmed up.
  • The leeward slope is thus drier and is regarded as the region of the rain-shadow.

/key

  • In meteorology, there are two sides of any island in the study of the earth's atmosphere: the windward side and the leeward side.
  • The Windward Side is the colder, wetter side of an island.
