No. Oregon's geography and climate patterns are similar, though not identical to those of Washington. The west side of the Oregon Cascades receives much more precipitation than does the east side.

What mountain ranges cause a rain shadow effect in the state of Washington?

In Washington, the Cascade Range is the primary mountain range that causes a rain shadow effect. As moist air from the Pacific Ocean rises and cools over the Cascades, it loses moisture in the form of precipitation on the western slopes. This results in significantly drier conditions in the eastern part of the state, where the rain shadow effect creates a more arid climate in areas like the Columbia Basin. The Olympic Mountains also contribute to this effect, particularly affecting the Olympic Peninsula.

This results in drier conditions on the leeward side of the mountains.

What is the rain shadow effect and how does it effect the leeward and windward side?

The rain shadow effect refers to a dry area on the leeward side of a mountain caused by the blocking of moisture from prevailing winds. As air rises over the windward side, it cools, expands, and releases precipitation. This leaves little moisture for the leeward side, resulting in a rain shadow desert.


When does the rain shadow effect not happen?
