Answer:

The windward side.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mountain's windward side is the one that faces the sea. This is the side of the mountain that receives the moist air from the ocean, which is also frequently warm. As a result, the windward side of the mountain is a wet and humid environment. Because the windward side of the mountain is blocking it, the other side of the mountain, the leeward side, will receive relatively little rain and moisture.
