Boise, Idaho, is affected by the rain shadow effect due to its location on the eastern side of the Cascade Range. As moist air rises over the mountains, it cools and loses moisture in the form of precipitation on the western slopes. By the time the air descends into Boise, it is drier, resulting in significantly less rainfall and creating a semi-arid climate. This contributes to Boise's lower average precipitation levels compared to areas on the windward side of the Cascades.
