Evaporation.
Warmer air and surfaces increase evaporation (and warm air can hold more water vapor — roughly 7% more water per °C, by Clausius‑Clapeyron). That extra moisture can later condense into clouds and fall as precipitation. (Condensation is the immediate process that makes rain, but the reason higher temperatures lead to more rain is increased evaporation/moisture.)
