What Is A Cyclonic Rainfall?

There are different types of rain. One of them is known as cyclonic rain. Cyclonic rain is also known as frontal rain.

This type of rain usually is due to the occurrence of cyclonic activities and is witnessed along fronts. It happens due to the meeting of hot and cold air masses. A line known as front separates the two air masses. The warm air slowly rises over the heavier cold air. Thus the cold, dry air comes in contact with the warmer, moist air by which the warm air cools and form clouds leading to rainfall. This type of rain pours down steadily for a few hours to a couple of days. There is heavy rain but of short duration. Hence there are also known as temperate cyclones.
