      Good Day,
      I have a question for meteo-experts and power-windy-users:

      How can you visually check for Föhn in the Alpsregion in Windy?
      For tomorrow there is strong north-föhn forecasted (7hpa pressure difference between Innsbruck and Bolzano) and I wuold love to know what method you experts use to check it in windy.

      Thank you very much indeed.

        The stronger the pressure gradient (contour lines are closely packed together),
        the stronger the winds.

        ... and warm, dry conditions as the air descends in the mountain's lee is clearing up the clouds.
