I am a meteorologist. Mountain regions have a huge effect on the weather, which can be a major benefit, or downfall. Something as simple as the orientation of mountains can prevent serious weather systems from destroying towns/homes. A lot of times mountains will help to "break up" a frontal system moving across if it is oriented North/South, however an East/West oriented system will enchance lift and create worse storms. The earliest settlements were situated according to the mountains, a logic that is still evident in many locations today.
