🇩🇪 Storm in Bavaria. Germany

Cold air from the highlands descends rapidly down the relatively narrow intermountain valleys, causing it to heat up. The air warms by about 1 °C for every 100 m downward. Descending from an altitude of 2,500 meters, it heats up by 25 degrees and becomes warm, even hot. This phenomenon is due to the cold air's tendency to occupy the lowest parts of the earth's surface. Foehns are especially frequent in spring, when the intensity of the general circulation of air masses increases sharply.
