You may think this is crazy, but less water.
Mountains influence the distribution of rainfall by causing air to rise and cool, leading to condensation and precipitation on the windward side. This results in more rainfall on the windward side of the mountain and a rain shadow effect on the leeward side, where less rainfall occurs.
There will be less rainfall
No!!! Amount of rainfall is not less in the lower latitudinal regions. Polar regions receive less heat so the process of evaporation is very slow there. As a result, it receives less rainfall. Thus,the regions having higher latitudes receives less rainfall.
Productivity decreases as rainfall increases. Marine life tend to be more productive when there is less rainfall in their ecosystem.
Areas that receive over 400 cm of rainfall are rain forests. The areas that receive less than 20 cm of rainfall are desert areas.

During a drought, there is typically less rainfall compared to normal conditions. Drought is characterized by below-average precipitation over an extended period, leading to water shortages and dry conditions.
The reason behind leh recieving less rainfall because 1.It lies at the starting point of the himalayas . The himalayas act as a barrier and biforcate the rainfall into two different directions or halves. One part of the monsoons give ranfall to areas above tibet and the other part gives rainfall to India(GANGETIC PLAIN AREA) 2.Leh experiences a continental type of climate i.e it is land locked :)
There is rainfall in California, the amount of precipitation however has been substantially less in recent years.
A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 25cm (10 inches) of rainfall on average per year.
The Antarctic is too cold for rainfall even during its summer so any precipitation would be in the form of snow. Therefore it would have no rainfall at all, which is less than most deserts.
Heavy rainfall makes water less dense because an increase in salinity leads to an increase in density. Rain does not contain any salt. Therefore heavy rainfall makes ocean water less dense. =)
