conventional rain is a type of rain formed when the atmospheric air near the surface of the earth is heated and rises up. In the equatorial areas, there is not only high angle of the sun but also different water bodies from which water evaporates .The warm air rises up with the increase of temperature between 3 to 4 pm . As altitude increases temperature decreases , as a result the warm air is forced to cool at higher altitude. Once the warm air is cooled , it can no more carry any moisture . That's why we see conventional rains in the afternoon in the equatorial regions!!

Are there any benefits to hurricanes or tropical storms?
Yes. Tropical cyclones (the generic term hurricanes, tropical storms, typhoons etc) produce large amounts of rain. This can bring relief to drought-stricken areas. The rain can also clear pollutants out of the air. Tropical cyclones are also one of several systems that bring heat from the tropics to the middle and sometimes higher latitudes. This helps keep the tropics from getting to hot and temperate areas from getting too cold.
What is the Madden Julian oscillation?
The MJO is a coupling between atmospheric circulation and deep tropical convection which tends to have a period of variability of 1-3 months. It is characterized by tropical convection propogating eastward, starting in the Indian Ocean and moving through the Pacific Ocean. It is linked to other modes of low frequency variability such as ENSO, but is not necessarily causal. Its impacts include primarily rainfall anomalies in parts of the Eastern tropics, and more subtle effects on moisture and energy getting into the mid- and high latitudes. It is displayed using a Hovmöller diagram.
