local weather != regional weather

On: Weather Monitoring Frequencies Subject to Pollution

cant understand why no one realizes this... your local weather is heavily influenced on geographical factors, just an short example:

clouds ->
spot A - ^HILL^ - spot B

so whats happening?
- clouds move over spot A, perhaps a bit rain
- clouds start "climbing" up the hill -> air cools down (Wet Adiabatic Lapse Rate, about -6 degrees/1000m) -> condensation -> rain!
- clouds climb down the hill -> air gets warmer (Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate, +10 degrees/1000m) -> we have much dryer air due to the former loss of water and the higher temperature... usually the difference between rain/no rain...
