Weather Patterns in Weedford

  • Weather Patterns in Weedford
    • Precipitation Process:
    • Rainfall occurs predominantly on the Weedford side due to specific geographical features.
    • Air Lifting:
      • The presence of nearby mountains or hills plays a crucial role.
      • Air is lifted as it encounters these elevations, leading to cooling and condensation.
      • Resulting in intense precipitation on the Weedford side.
    • Dry Conditions:
    • The leeward side of the mountains (opposite to Weedford) experiences dry air.
    • This phenomenon is known as the rain shadow effect:
      • As moist air ascends and cools, precipitation occurs.
      • Once the air descends on the other side, it warms and becomes dry, leading to arid conditions.
