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.

Rain shadow effect is possible rarely in mountains, not in Bucharest.
because of the rain shadow effect and it has more humid climate because of pollution
Mountains cause rain shadow effect because they are tall. The mountains keep out the rain.
A mountain range can create a rain shadow in the state of Washington. The Olympic Mountains in the western part of the state block moisture-laden air coming from the Pacific Ocean, causing a rain shadow in the region east of the mountains, known as the Olympic Peninsula. This results in drier conditions on the leeward side of the mountains.

Death Valley is a rain shadow desert in the U.S. It is in the rain shadow effect of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Cascade Mountain Range.
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.
