The Valais is sheltered by the alps and, like south east Switzerland, benefits particularly from the föhn. 2. As for the foehn of yesterday there was enough ascent to condense out the humidity content and to produce a very dry, warm Föhn-storm north of the Alps. 3. In addition, foehn winds, warm dry winds coming off the lee slopes of a mountain range, heated the basin. 4. Foehn events occurred with above-average frequency and high diversity. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌀 @cambridge_dic
