12.3.2 Orographic rain
Orographic rain is common to coastal mountain ranges. A steep mountain range forces temperate and humid air flowing from the nearby sea to rise.
As the air ascends on the mountain slope, it begins to cool down. The air reaches the dew point, and the condensed moisture falls down in the form of orographic rain.
