Le «foehn» ou, du suisse allemand, «föhn», est un vent chaud et sec qui se développe par l'affaissement de l'air après le passage d'un relief. Habituellement, le vent se développe du côté sud de la montagne où il provoque nébulosité et pluies puis, traversant vers le nord où l'atmosphère devient parfaitement claire mais l'air lourd, desséché et chaud, fait grimper la température de 10 °C pendant le jour alors qu'il gèle la nuit. Ces soudaines modifications entraînent la fonte des neiges et expliquent de nombreuses avalanches. 4, record 2, French, - foehn

The north westerlies of summer force humid air to rise against the western mountains, causing heavy rain in the west ... As the air sinks down on the eastern side of the mountains, it warms and the clouds quite often disperse. This is called the foehn effect and in summer it brings a hot, dry and very trying wind for a while to the Canterbury Plains inland of Christchurch.
