The temperature on top of mountains is lower than the temperature at sea level. The wind carries damp air over the land. When the air reaches the mountains, it rises because the mountains are in the way. As the air rises, it cools and cool air can carry less dampness than warm air. The higher anything goes in to the air the cooler it gets.

How destructive is rain?

Rain can be destructive by wearing away surfaces of stone, such as sandstone, but this takes hundreds of thousands of years to show any evidence of erosion. When rain turns to acid rain, it is more destructive. It still takes a very long time for the erosion to show, but is more dangerous as the acidity can strip away vital surfaces for things like stone and metal.
