He may well have just been going of Seattle's reputation for being wet. But actually it's pretty dry compared to Glasgow. 38 inches annual average in Seattle, 44 inches in Glasgow.The Seattle comment was something that I believe Greenwood said about the city, so that was my basis for the comparasion.
If it's only 1200 ft., it aint technically a mountain. But it's clear that Waterdeep is already on rising land (it has cliffs), before the onshore wind hit's the so-called-mountain, so it's going to get the precipitation. The "mountain" is really just the tip of the rocky headland.Don't disagree on the hills, but if you look at the maps of Waterdeep, the mountain which rises around 700-800 feet above the city is between it and the ocean, so the city would be more in the rain shadow of the mountain assuming the wind was coming straight in from the ocean.

Llandudno get plenty rain.
