Because it is a long way from the sea. the prevailing winds that carry rain come from the east and it had a mountain range along the east coast that causes clouds to drop most of their rain as the cross them. leaving little for the inland.the Great Dividing Range blocks prevailing winds from the eastthe Great Dividing Range blocks prevailing winds from the eastthe Great Dividing Range blcks prevailing winds from the east

Global winds generally?
global winds generally blow from specific directions over long distances
If Hurricanes pack winds of 150 mph how come they only travel at 15 mph?
Forward movement of the actual storm, which is where the eye is, is what is measured. The winds spin around the center having nothing to do with how fast the storm is moving - that is because of steering currents, like a Bermuda High or an approaching cold front. Oddly enough, if a category 3 hurricane is moving at 60 miles per hour like the 1938 Long Island Express, you combine forward movement with the sustained winds in the direction it is moving to give you, specifically at that part of the storm, category 5 winds. 120 mph sustained plus 60 mph forward movement equals...180 mph sustained winds in that region/area of the storm (it's opposite on the weak side of the storm, of course). Which explains why that hurricane was so destructive. Last I checked hurricanes don't carry luggage so why people continue to say "pack winds" I'll never understand. Skip Stone New Orleans, LA

A spit is formed due to the process of the long shore drift, the waves approach the beach in the direction of the prevailing winds, this causes the sediment to be pushed up the beach at an angle.

What will the wind direction of Hurricane Irene be when it reaches Long Island New York?
As the hurricane approaches Long Island, the wind will likely be from the northeast. However, as the eye will be very close to, if not pass over, Long Island, the wind direction will change as the storm approaches, passes over and departs. At times the wind could come from the north, the east, the west or the south. When the storm is departing to the north and northest, the winds will likely be from the southwest.
