1. foehn

   A föhn, also spelled foehn (UK: , US: , US also ), is a type of dry, relatively warm, downslope wind that occurs in the lee (downwind side) of a mountain range. It is a rain shadow wind that results from the subsequent adiabatic warming of air that has dropped most of its moisture on windward slopes (see orographic lift). As a consequence of the different adiabatic lapse rates of moist and dry air, the air on the leeward slopes becomes warmer than equivalent elevations on the windward slopes. Föhn winds can raise temperatures by as much as 14 °C (25 °F) in just a matter of hours. Switzerland, southern Germany and Austria have a warmer climate due to the Föhn, as moist winds off the Mediterranean Sea blow over the Alps.

1. foehn

   A foehn is a type of dry, warm, down-slope wind that occurs on the leeward side of a mountain range. It is the result of air losing moisture as it moves over mountains, causing the air to heat up as it descends. These winds are commonly associated with rapid shifts in weather and can lead to dramatic temperature increases. Foehn winds are known by various names around the world, such as Chinook winds in North America and Zonda winds in South America.
