Relief rain usually takes place around coastal areas where a fleet of hills runs along to the coast. When wet onshore wind from the sea meet a mountain, hill and barrier, it is forced to rise along the slope and cools. When the air temperature falls to its dew point, water vapor condenses to form clouds. When the clouds can no longer hold the water droplets, relief rain begins to fall on the windward slope of the mountain. On the leeward slope, air sinks, it is warmed and further dried by compression. Therefore, the leeward slope is known as rain shadow. It is just all that simple. Good luck

Relief rainfall is when air is forced to cool as it rises over hills and mountains. Then as it rises it cools, condenses and forms rain.

Relief Rainfall is when you have air coming from the sea and moving towards land.In the way is a hill or mountain and the warm air is forced to go up the hill.Up there is cold and when warm moist air mixes with cold air, the water vapour condenses and rain is formed.
