Convectional Rainfall
How can humans make it rain
This type of rainfall is caused when the heat from the sun causes moisture on the ground to evaporate into the form of water vapor. This water vapor forms clouds high in the sky. Eventually, large water droplets fall down from the clouds as Precipitation. Besides the form of liquid water rain, precipitation can also fall in the form of snow, hail, sleet and more.

Tropical Storms of with winds of 74 mph or more are called Cyclones, Typhoons, or Hurricanes (Depending on where they occur)
These tropical storms' routes usually take them away from the equator
Where do they occur?
Typhoons appear on right on top of the equator, east side. From below the middle east, all the way across through the Indian ocean, and onward. The typhoon zones are almost like a mirror reflection of the cyclone line (the equator is the mirror line)
Cyclones occur right below the equator, east side. From near Madagascar, all the way to near Australia and New Guinea
Hurricanes appear right above equator, west side. Stretching along far west from Africa, all the way to the very end of a flat map, quite below Hawaii. Nearing the Typhoon Zones
