In Europe, the areas that are west of the mountains receive more rainfall due to the prevailing westerly winds carrying moisture from the Atlantic Ocean. This leads to a wetter climate on the western side of the mountains and a drier climate on the eastern side, known as the rain shadow effect.
Areas west of the mountains in Europe, such as the UK, Ireland, and parts of France and Spain, receive a significant amount of rainfall due to the prevailing westerly winds carrying moisture from the Atlantic Ocean. These regions are known for their wet and temperate climates, with annual rainfall typically ranging from 700mm to 2000mm.
