Why does it rain here?

Dear Quatty,

Lissa's dad thinks it rains more here because the clouds hit the mountains and the water gets squeezed out of them. I think that's funny.

    Meteoroligists call it orographic convection. That's when clouds are forced to rise because of mountains and it causes the cloud's moisture to be squeezed out as rain/snow (depending on the temperature).
