Answer
Cyclonic rainfall occurs when cold and warm fronts meet. The westerlies blow from the warmer Horse latitudes towards the poles in north and south hemisphere. This results in the convergence of warm westerlies and cold polar winds, which further results in Cyclonic rainfall. Therefore, Cyclonic rainfall is common in the belt of westerlies.
