A city can create a rain shadow effect by positioning itself in the lee of a mountain range, where prevailing winds carry moist air upward, causing precipitation on the windward side. As the air descends on the leeward side, it warms and dries, resulting in reduced rainfall in the city. Urban development and landscaping can also enhance this effect by altering local microclimates. Additionally, factors like building height and surface materials can influence airflow and precipitation patterns.
