- Humidity percentage varies from 0% in cold dry air to 5% in hot equatorial regions
- Temperature is the most important factor affecting humidity - warmer air can hold more moisture
Condensation and Its Forms
- Condensation occurs when water vapour changes to liquid or solid state
- Requires air to be cooled below dew point temperature
- Process depends on relative humidity and rate of cooling
Precipitation and Its Forms
- Precipitation is water falling to Earth in liquid or solid form
- Most important phase of hydrological cycle
- Requires adiabatic cooling of air masses
Types of Rainfall
- Three main types based on mechanism of air rising: Convectional, Orographic, Cyclonic/Frontal
- Each type has distinct characteristics and geographical distribution
- All depend on adiabatic cooling of rising air masses
