What are the types of rainfall in Ghana?

1. Conventional Rainfall: This is the most common type of rainfall in Ghana and occurs during the wet season from April to October. It is characterized by heavy downpours that can last for several hours.

2. Orographic Rainfall: This type of rainfall occurs when warm, moist air rises over a mountain range and cools, causing the moisture to condense and form clouds. Orographic rainfall is common in the mountainous areas of Ghana, such as the Akwapim-Togo Ranges.

3. Convectional Rainfall: This type of rainfall occurs when warm, moist air rises rapidly from the surface of the earth and cools, causing the moisture to condense and form clouds. Convectional rainfall is common in the northern parts of Ghana, such as the Guinea Savanna zone.

4. Frontal Rainfall: This type of rainfall occurs when a warm front meets a cold front, forcing the warm air to rise and cool, causing the moisture to condense and form clouds. Frontal rainfall is common in the southern parts of Ghana, such as the Coastal Savanna zone.
