In convectional precipitation, unequal heating of the surface causes an air parcel to become warmer and less dense than the surrounding air. Because it is less dense, it rises. As it moves upward, it cools, and condensation with precipitation may occur.

Convectional precipitation results from the heating of the earth's surface that causes air to rise rapidly. As the air rises, it cools and moisture condenses into clouds and precipitation. This type of precipitation is common in the prairie provinces.

moist air rises by convection due to instability ... because of the strong updrafts, cooling is rapid and lots of water can be condensced quickly ... see also cyclonic and orographic precipitation (pp67-69, Briggs and Smithson)

Convectional Precipitation Is the formation of precipitation due to surface heating of the air at the ground surface. If enough heating occurs, the mass of air becomes warmer and lighter than the air in the surrounding environment, and just like a hot air balloon it begins to rise, expand and cool.

Convectional Rainfall ... Rain; What is precipitation?; Relief Rainfall ; Convectional Rainfall ; Frontal Rainfall ... Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools. When the air reaches saturation point (also known as condensation point and dew point) the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water.
