Showers are associated with convective type of clouds like cumulonimbus or towering cumulus etc.Convection takes place on a large scale over ITCZ due to the following reason.
The tropical air masses from the Northern hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere,brought by trade winds, meet over ITCZ.They are warm and humid and have favourable lapse rates(for convection to take place) up to great heights.Therefore convection takes place on a large scale leading to the formation of convective type of clouds from which showers occur.

In terms of weather, the region on the right of the mountain (leeward side) would be drier, due to rain-shadow effect. However, since ITCZ is located near the Latitude where the Amazon exists, that region is wet. (ITCZ is intertropical convergence zone, and is associated with wet weather, a band located near the equator, though it shifts up during the summer, and drops to near equator in the winter)
