How does the amonut of rainfall on the windward side of a mountain differ fom that on a leeward side?

The wind forces the moist air mass to move upward, which reduces the pressure on the air mass. As a result, it is less able to support the moisture it is carrying and it dumps water on the windward side. Depending on the size of the mountain, this can result in a wind flow over the top that is low in moisture and higher in temperature. In Switzerland, there is an effect called a Foehn, which results in everyone taking the day off because of the pleasant climactic effect. Google Foehn.
