A Rainfall

Indonesia that is located on equator line has two seasons. They are rainy season and dry season. Then, how does the rainfall happen in rainy season?
First of all, rainfall is the total amount of rain that falls in a particular area in a certain amount of time. (Oxford Dictionary)
Rainfall happens because the sun heats water in oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, pools, ponds and other kinds of water sources. Water evaporates as water vapor into the air. This process is called evaporation. After that, the condensation process is started. The rising air currents take the vapor up into the atmosphere. There, the cooler temperature cause it to condense into clouds.
Wind brings the clouds into higher air pressure area then that condensed water vapor falls to the earth surface. In this process, which is called precipitation, the rainfall happens.
