what is known as cyclonic rainfall?
Cyclonic rainfall is any type of precipitation that occurs during a cyclone. Cyclonic rain is also known as frontal rain. It occurs where two air masses meet and form a 'front'. The warmer, moisture laden air rises over the colder air as a 'warm front'. As the air rises it cools, and its relative humidity increases. Clouds form as water vapour condenses, and then fall as rain.
