Etiamque non crebriter in campis confluunt imbres, sed in montibus aut ad ipsos montes, ideo quod umores ex terra matutino solis ortu moti cum sunt egressi, in quamcumque partem caeli sunt proclinati, trudunt aera; deinde, cum sunt moti, propter vacuitatem loci post se recipiunt aeris ruentis undas.
Further, it is not often that rain showers gather in the plains, but rather on the mountains or near them. For moisture rising from the earth being moved by the rising sun at dawn, thrusts the air into whatever part of the sky it tends. Thereupon the moisture thus moved, because of the vacuum, receives behind it the waves of rushing air.
