The rain shadow effect occurs when wind is forced up the slopes of a mountain and drops most of its moisture on the windward side. The air on the leeward side is dry as a result, giving the area downwind of the mountains a dry climate in what is called a rain shadow.

Mountains block the flow of moisture from reaching the leeward side of mountains causing a rain shadow.
