This is the result of deep tropical flow interacting with terrain..
Years ago I had a friend who was a meteorologist with the Dutch Navy. Sitting on the beach one day he pointed at clouds heading toward shore and explained how the island (land) begins to affect the weather, the formation of clouds, several miles away from land. The air begins to rise even before the elevation of the land increases. This cools, condenses moisture in the air.
The key word is affect.
Not protect.
