5 days ago · As a result, despite the low-level moisture, the combined effects of middle tropospheric dry air advection and anticyclonic vorticity ensure a rain shadow over Delhi. The situation is complex and highlights the nuanced interplay of various meteorological factors that determine weather patterns.
3 days ago · A rain shadow is a dry region that forms on the leeward side of a mountain range, resulting from the orographic lift of moist air as it ascends over the mountains. This phenomenon has profound implications for ecosystems, agriculture, and human habitation in mountainous regions and their surroundings.

4 days ago · Rain Shadow Effect: The mountain ranges create a rain shadow effect. As the air descends on the leeward side of the Karakoram, it warms and dries out. This phenomenon leads to significantly reduced precipitation in adjacent areas.
1 day ago · A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain and squalls.
5 days ago · Rain shadows occur around the world, and in Australia the main recognisable rain shadow is the Great Dividing Range along the NSW and Queensland coastline. The trade winds tend to favour an easterly direction (especially in summer and autumn) over eastern Australia and therefore moist winds are forced to rise up the mountains.
4 days ago · Idaho is situated in the rain shadow of mountains to the west in Washington and Oregon, and only the higher elevations receive adequate amounts of precipitation. Most of the Snake River plateau receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation annually, making it the driest part of the state.
