The leeward sides of mountains are typically dry and are often arid enough to be referred to as rain shadow deserts. Rain shadow deserts are created when mountains block rain clouds.
In a rain shadow, the climate is typically dry as moisture-laden air loses its moisture when it rises over a mountain range, leaving very little precipitation on the leeward side. This results in arid conditions and a lack of vegetation in the rain shadow region.
