The Spring Mountains create a rain shadow effect on Las Vegas by blocking moisture-laden air coming from the west. As the air rises over the mountains, it cools and condenses, resulting in precipitation on the windward side. By the time the air descends on the leeward side, it warms and dries, leading to significantly lower rainfall in Las Vegas. This geographical phenomenon contributes to the region's arid climate.
