The windward side of the boat is the side of the boat that the wind is hitting. the other side of the boat that is sheltered from the wind is the Leeward side. In other words ... the windward side of the boat is the side that is closest to the source of the wind.
leeward
The leeward side of a mountain is the side that is not exposed to wind or rain, the other side being the windward side.
The windward side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains is characterized by lush vegetation and abundant rainfall due to moist air rising and cooling as it ascends the mountains. This side features dense forests, diverse ecosystems, and higher humidity levels. The climate tends to be milder compared to the leeward side, which experiences drier conditions and a more arid landscape. Overall, the windward side supports rich biodiversity and vibrant habitats.
The Windward side
It is the sloped side of a mountain that is colder and gets more rain. Why? Because the leeward side is the opposite of the windward side and is also dryer because when the clouds climb the mountain range (windward side) they loses all their water so there is none left for the leeward side.
on the leeward side
The land on the windward side of a mountain range is usually green and lush while the other side is usually drier because the clouds tend to pile up on the windward side. The clouds then drop their moisture before they cross the mountains, making the windward side wet and the other side dry.
