A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountainous area (away from the wind). The mountains block the passage of rain-producing weather systems and cast a "shadow" of dryness behind them.

It is a area where clouds can't reach.
That's because it is on the opposite side of the mountain, especially leeward side. As a result, there is scarce rain on the rain shadow side of the mountain.
