The first didn't include personal insults either.
BTW: orographic lift: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orographic_lift
"Orographic lift occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain. As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically, which can raise the relative humidity to 100% and create clouds and, under the right conditions, precipitation."
When you already have clouds and lots of moisture that are forced up terrain by the prevailing wind, you end up with even more rainfall on the windward side of the slopes.
