        Rainfall
        
        Rainfall is thick and heavy. Can be accompanied by thunderstorms
        
        The process of condensation leads to the growth of cumulonimbus clouds, large and dark, which are associated with thunderstorms
        
        As the warm air rises, it expands and cools. This causes moisture to condense into water droplets
        
        As the surface warms, the air above it heats up. Warm air is less dense so rises
      - During the day, the sun heats the earth's surface
    - - Heavy and short-lived
      - Common in the tropics
      - Associated with thunderstorms
  - - - Rises
        
        As it moves up, it naturally cools
        
        Condenses into cloud
      - Rises due to it being warm, meanigfn that it is light and buyoyant, it needs to float.
    - - Western side recieves 1000 of rainfall anuallly.
      - Eastern side receives 625 mm
  - - - If an easterly front meets a westerly front, warm air rises over cold air due to it being less dense than cold air
        
        Warm air rises, cold air sinks
        
        Causes water vapour in the warm air to condense
        
        Causes rainfall
        
        Frontal rainfall can turn into a depression
        
        Depressions turn into storms
        
        Storms turn into Hurricanes
