Answer

Frontal rain is common in mid-latitudes due to the meeting of the sub-tropical and polar air masses. It is caused by convergence of two different air masses with different temperatures and other physical properties. When warm and cold air masses confront each other, the warmer air generally climbs above the colder air. The rising air is cooled while undergoing a frontal lift. This causes precipitation. Such precipitation is called cyclonic rainfall.
