due to fluctuations in temperature causing changes in the amount and rate of evaporation that occurs thus changing the amount of water vapour that can condense and come down to the earths surface.

Different areas receive different amounts of precipitation because of where they are in relation to surrounding waters (oceans). The oceans have winds that collect moisture from the water and bring it onto land (onshore winds). That is why it is normally cooler near the coast. Plus, this moisture is then evaporated by the Sun's heat and when formed into a gas (water vapour), makes clouds. Then these clouds when they get too heavy to carry any more water vapour, rain. If you are not near the coast of somewhere then you will not receive the onshore winds that essentially bring precipitation (rain).

Because of the sun and the rotation of the earth on its own axis. Also due to the distance of the location from the equator.
