Convectional rainfall
High levels of solar radiation in the tropics lead to
convectional rainfall
.
How it is formed:
Energy from the sun heats up the land and the air above;
A high rate of evaporation;
The warm and humid air rises;
Warm wet air rises and cools down;
Clouds are formed and rain will fall.

Precipitation caused by incoming solar radiation =
Convectional rainfall
.

Frontal rainfall
.

orographic
or
relief rainfall.
