In New Zealand’s Fjordland National Park the prevailing westerly winds blow moist air from the Tasman Sea onto the mountains; the cooling of this air as it rises produces a prodigious amount of rainfall, exceeding seven meters annually in many parts of the park. It rains over 200 days a year forming an abundant number of waterfalls from the runoff.
