Editing Rain shadow (section)

====Central Europe====
* The Plains of [[Limagne]] and [[Forez]] in the northern [[Massif Central]], France are also relatively rainshadowed (mostly the plain of Limagne, shadowed by the [[Chaîne des Puys]] (up to 2000&nbsp;mm; 80" of rain a year on the summits and below 600mm; 20" at [[Clermont-Ferrand]], which is one of the driest places in the country).
* The [[Piedmont]] wine region of northern Italy is rainshadowed by the mountains that surround it on nearly every side: [[Asti]] receives only {{convert|527|mm|in|frac=4|abbr=on}} of precipitation per year, making it one of the driest places in mainland Italy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3?s=161161&refer=&units=metric|title=Asti weather|work=weatherbase.com}}</ref>
* Some valleys in the inner [[Alps]] are also strongly rainshadowed by the high surrounding mountains: the areas of [[Gap, Hautes-Alpes|Gap]] and [[Briançon]] in [[France]], the district of [[Zernez]] in [[Switzerland]].
* The [[Kuyavia]] and the eastern part of the [[Greater Poland]] has an average rainfall of about {{convert|450|mm|in|abbr=on}} because of rainshadowing by the slopes of the [[Szwajcaria Kaszubska|Kashubian Switzerland]], making it one of the driest places in the [[North European Plain]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://turystyka.wp.pl/kujawy-najsuchsze-miejsce-w-polsce-6043969957925505g|title=Kujawy - najsuchsze miejsce w Polsce|last=S.A|first=Wirtualna Polska Media|date=2016-02-02|website=turystyka.wp.pl|language=pl|access-date=2020-01-31}}</ref>
