Answer
Two places which receive two types of rainfall are:
Western Ghats receive both orographic rainfall and convectional rainfall.
- Moist winds from the Arabian Sea rise over the mountains, causing heavy orographic rainfall on the windward side.
- High temperatures and local conditions lead to localized thunderstorms and convectional rainfall.
Northeastern states of Meghalaya and Assam also receive both orographic rainfall and convectional rainfall.
- Moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal encounter the Eastern Himalayas, resulting in significant orographic rainfall on the windward side.
- Warm and humid conditions contribute to convective cloud formation, leading to heavy convectional showers and thunderstorms.
