Answer:

When westerly winds rush across the ocean to New Zealand, they meet the alps and rise up over them. The air gets colder when it gets higher, and the cold makes moisture in the air form raindrops.

Explanation:

When the humid westerly airstreams from the Tasman Sea reach the West Coast, they rise over the mountains and cool. Water vapour condenses as rain, which drops on the coast and the Southern Alps. Once over the mountains, the air descends and warms up, and the moisture evaporates. hope it helps:)

Basile [38]
The last statement is correct. Water stores heat better than land mass, so when the heat that is stored in land cools, the heat particles in the air over the ocean is packed very closely and want to be further away from each other. That causes the wind to blow towards land, where it is more room for particles. I hope that made sense.
