The mistral is a katabatic wind (caused by the difference in pressure between the cold air of a high pressure system over northwest Europe and a low pressure system in the Mediterranean). The wind blows south through the Rhone Valley, gathering speed as it is funneled between the Alps and the Massif Central. The mistral is usually fresh and dry (accompanied by clear and sunny weather) and may be violent, blowing most frequent in winter and spring.
