Detailed explanation-1: -In India, the mango showers occur as the result of thunderstorm development over the Bay of Bengal. They are also known as ‘Kaal Baisakhi’ in Bengal, as Bordoisila in Assam and as Cherry Blossom showers or Coffee Showers in Karnataka.
Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: The summer pre monsoon showers in the coffee growing regions of Karnataka are called Mango showers as they help in early ripening of mangoes. They are also referred to as April rains.
Detailed explanation-3: -Convectional rainfall seems to occur when the heated air from the earth’s surface rises upwards along with the water vapor & gets condensed when it reaches a higher altitude. Here the clouds carrying the water vapor are not carried away by the wind and hence, it rains in the same place.
