Cyclonic precipitation - It is caused by the lifting of air mass due to a pressure difference. A cyclone is a large low-pressure region with circular wind motion.
Convective Precipitation caused due to upward movement of air that is warmer than the surrounding air due to localised heating.
Orographic Precipitation : It is responsible for most of the heavy rains in large parts of India. It is caused by moist air masses that strike natural topographic barriers like mountains, causing them rise upwards, causing cooling, condensation and precipitation.

I think it is Convective precipitation.
