The windward slope of a mountain experiences a wet climate due to orographic precipitation. As moist air rises over the mountain, it cools and condenses, leading to cloud formation and precipitation. This process results in higher rainfall on the windward side, while the leeward slope, or rain shadow, tends to be drier. Consequently, the windward slope is characterized by lush vegetation and a wetter climate.
