Question

Comment on the rainfall occurring in the rain shadow area

Answer 1

A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountainous area. The mountains block the passage of rain-producing weather systems and cast a "shadow" of dryness behind them...The air, without much moisture left, advanced across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow."

Answer 2

Hey there!

The rain shadow area is the area on the leeward slopes of a mountain range; in the shadow of the mountains where precipitation is greatly reduced as compared to windward slope.

For example: Central Maharashtra lies on the leeward side of Balaghat range. So, it gets little rainfall.
