Answer:

As a cloud goes over a mountain, it rises. As air rises, it expands because there is less atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes. ... Cool air holds less mois- ture, rain falls and the cloud loses moisture. After it passes over the mountain, it drops down in elevation and the air becomes compressed and becomes warmer.

Mountains can have a significant effect on rainfall. When air reaches the mountains, it is forced to rise over this barrier. As the air moves up the windward side of a mountain, it cools, and the volume decreases. As a result, humidity increases and orographic clouds and precipitation can develop.

Cecily had created an entire relationship with love letters included (that she herself had written), a ring, a broken engagement, and a reconciliation. All chronically told in her personal diary.
