Relief rain is formed from moised air that rises from the sea and rises over highland such as mountains and hills, and starts to cool and condensates (forms clouds), which then forms heavy rain.

Relief rainfall is when warm, moist air, typically from a body of water, is pushed up a slope or mountain. The air is cooled as it rises, and loses its moisture as rain or snow. This usually produces drier conditions on the lee slope (downwind).

Relief rain usually takes place around coastal areas where a fleet of hills runs along to the coast. When wet onshore wind from the sea meet a mountain, hill and barrier, it is forced to rise along the slope and cools. When the air temperature falls to its dew point, water vapor condenses to form clouds. When the clouds can no longer hold the water droplets, relief rain begins to fall on the windward slope of the mountain. On the leeward slope, air sinks, it is warmed and further dried by compression. Therefore, the leeward slope is known as rain shadow.

Relief rainfall works by condensation. The hot air, mostly from the north Atlantic drift, rises and the condenses into water, the rain.

When the wind meets a line of high hills or mountains, there's only one way to go up!

So the air rises and cools - And we get rain we call it Relief Rainfall.
