If the prevailing winds travel a great distance over dry land, then they will not pick up or carry moisture to the place of concern. Also, if there are wet sources, but the winds encounter mountains afterward before arriving, the rising and cooling air going up the mountain sides will result in loss of moisture and the air will be coming down the mountain much dryer, to the point of making a desert.
