Check out News, and Musings from the farm. I love that Rainshadow had so many squash growing in so many places on the farm that they had to conduct The Great Squash Tasting. This may be helpful next year, but for now,. When the days are long and warm, it is nice to have something cool and refreshing. The mountains block the passage of rain-producing weather systems and cast a "shadow" of dryness behind them. Wind and moist air is drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top.

The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow". The condition exists because warm moist air rises by orographic lifting to the top of a mountain range. As atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude, the air has expanded and adiabatically cooled to the point that the air reaches its adiabatic dew point which is not the same as its constant pressure dew point commonly reported in weather forecasts.

At the adiabatic dew point, moisture condenses onto the mountain and it precipitates on the top and windward sides of the mountain.

Rain shadow

The air descends on the leeward side, but due to the precipitation it has lost much of its moisture. Typically, descending air also gets warmer because of adiabatic compression see Foehn winds down the leeward side of the mountain, which increases the amount of moisture that it can absorb and creates an arid region.

The Interplay of Climate and Terrain

There are regular patterns of prevailing winds found in bands round the Earth's equatorial region. The westerlies are the prevailing winds in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude , blowing predominantly from the southwest in the Northern Hemisphere and from the northwest in the Southern Hemisphere. The strongest westerly winds in the middle latitudes can come in the Roaring Forties between 30 and 50 degrees latitude.

On the largest scale, the entirety of the North American Interior Plains are shielded from the prevailing Westerlies carrying moist Pacific weather by the North American Cordillera.
