Alpine föhn

Regional wind

The Alpine föhn is the name given to the föhn wind in the Alpine region. The name föhn was originally used to refer to the south wind which blows during the winter months and brings thaw conditions to the northern side of the Alps. Because föhn later became a generic term that was extended to other mountain ranges around the world that experience similar phenomena, the name "Alpine föhn" (Alpenföhn) was coined for the föhns of the Alpine region. The wind can cause heavy storms with winds of hurricane strength and top speeds of up to 150 km/h (93 mph). The south wind on the northern side of the Alps is also called the south föhn (Südföhn), its opposite number on the south side of the Alps is also called the north föhn (Nordföhn).
