Temperature fluctuations in the western oceans are much more dramatic than in the eastern oceans. This results in increased rainfall. Around 95,000 cubic miles of rain falls over the world's oceans each year, more than half of which falls in the western oceans.

Why does most precipitation fall into the ocean?

Most precipitation falls into the ocean because about 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. The water cycle drives the movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere and back again through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, resulting in a large amount of rainfall in the ocean.
