Spanisch Begriff oder Satz: islote pluviométrico
El agua abunda y con ella la vegetación. Y eso es así porque en algunas zonas del Parque Natural, como por ejemplo los valles orientados hacia el oeste, los niveles de precipitación pueden llegar a superar los 1500 mm anuales, mientras que en las llanuras cercanas a las sierras, apenas sobrepasan los 600 mm.

Nos encontramos, pues, ante lo que los climatólogos califican como “islote pluviométrico”.

I'm not sure of the exact technical term for this in English. Could I say 'precipitation zone' or something similar?

Many thanks in advance for any ideas!

rainfall pocket
Erklärung:
Hi Sheila

What about a 'rainfall pocket'? As in:

Pastoral Districts: Rainfall over the Pastoral districts was generally average to below average. There was an ***isolated pocket of very much below average rainfall in the eastern half of the Northeast district. Several centers recorded single day rainfall totals, due to localized thunderstorm activity, which increased their total monthly amounts to above average. Rainfall totals over 10 mm were confined to ***isolated pockets in the Northwest district. ...

Agricultural Districts: Rainfall totals over the Agricultural districts were generally below average. There were ***isolated pockets of very much below average totals over the Western Agricultural and the Lower and Upper North districts.

zone of maximum precipitation

Erklärung:
In reply to Lia :)

You almost always have a predominant wind direction.
The predominant wind direction (Est?) combined with the slope orientation (Est) may create drastically different microclimates in some mountain zones.
The Sheila's case seems to be a typical precipitation inversion model.

Your translation (rainfall pocket) is right but I'm just guessing about the mecanism :-)

Cheers
GG
