Detailed explanation-1: -Leeward” is the side of an island where the predominant wind travels from the interior of the island to the sea. The side of the mountain facing the wind laden with moisture is called the windward side mountain. Leeward mountain is named the other side of the mountain that does not face the laden moisture.

Detailed explanation-2: -The windward side is the wetterside. The way I try to remember it is this way – the winds hang out and produce rain on thewindward side. The leeward side of a mountain is the side protected from the prevailing wind. As the wind blows across a mountainrange, air rises and cools and clouds can form on the windward side.

Detailed explanation-3: -The side of the mountains where the wind starts is called the windward side. The side of the mountains where the wind leaves the area is called the leeward side. Another way that mountains cause cloud formation is when air rises because the mountain is warmer than the surrounding air and causes the air to rise.

Detailed explanation-4: -Windward is upwind from the point of reference, i.e. towards the direction from which the wind is coming; leeward is downwind from the point of reference, i.e. along the direction towards which the wind is going.
