Explain how local geography can influence the local pattern of precipitation?
Another way winds influence precipitation patterns is by going over mountains. When air masses go over over mountains, they cool as they rise over the mountains. As they cool cool they can no longer hold as much moisture as when they were warmer, this causes cloud development and precipitation.

What is the effect of mountains on rainfall?
Mountains have two effects on precipitation. These are the rain shadow effect and the orographic effect. These both cause the type and amount of precipitation to change because the air is forced higher up.
Why do cities located in mountains get more precipitation?
Cities located in mountains experience more precipitation because as moist air is forced to rise over the mountain range, it cools and condenses, leading to precipitation. This process, known as orographic lifting, is a common phenomenon in mountainous regions and contributes to increased rainfall on the windward side of the mountains.
