    Rain occurs when the water held in warm, damp air condenses and falls. The primary difference between light rain and heavy rain is the amount of moisture that is present in the air mass, which is proportional to the size of the air mass. Typically, heavy rains are caused by pressure fronts, while lighter rains are caused by convective processes.
