Orographic lifting is a process that takes place when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain.
This can be explained by; When air is blocked by mountains, it cannot go through these mountains, As it ascends or moves up the mountain, the air then cools as it rises and when it cools to its saturation point, the water vapor condenses and cloud forms.
These clouds formed are known as orographic clouds, that develop in response to the lifting forced by the topography the earth.
Summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere on June 20 or 21 when the North Pole is tilted a full 23.5° toward the sun. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere has the most hours of daylight, while the Southern Hemisphere has the least hours of daylight.
