21. Because of orographic lift, precipitation increases with elevation up to where it slowly decreases to the crest. 22. Unlike its surroundings, the range receives a substantial amount of snowfall and precipitation due to orographic lift. 23. Rainfall can be abundant at times, as mountains very close to the coast create an orographic effect. 24. Orographic clouds normally form when air is forced to rise as it passes over a mountain and cools.25. This energy comes from mesoscale convergence boundaries such as outflow and sea breeze boundaries, or orographic lift. 26. A hill rising to over on the southern edge of the town contributes to orographic enhancement, intensifying snowfall. 27. The presence of the mountain ranges causes the air masses to rise and deposit large quantities of orographic precipitation. 28. Temperatures in the region range from and precipitation can reach thanks to the orographic precipitation triggered by the Andes. 29. This sustained orographic effect helped the air to rise, cool, and release its moisture in repeating thunderstorms. 30. The climate is typical from the mid Segre, with orographic features similar to the Central Depression of Catalonia.
