Why are hurricanes rainy?

Hurricanes are powered by the energy released from the condensation of vast quantities of water vapor. All this moisture, however, cannot stay in the air. In the upper portions of the storm the air is frigid, as it always is at latitudes of several miles. Here moisture forms snow, which descends into the lower, warmer potions of the storm and melts to form rain.

This is how nearly all rain is formed, not just in hurricanes.
