The leeward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that is covered by wind and you may notice that that side is drier than the windward side, which is the side that faces the incoming wind.
Now the leeward side temperature increases from top to bottom because when the air goes up the mountain from the windward side, it loses most of its moisture.
