1 INTRODUCTION The representation of the diurnal cycle of convection remains an open problem in numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate simulations, especially over land (Bechtold et al., 2004; Krishna et al., 2021). Models tend to misrepresent the timing of convection initiation and maximum rainfall (Krishnamurti et al., 2007; Yuan et al., 2013), sometimes even missing the shallow convection stage completely and moving straight to the deep convection phase.
