How do prevailing winds affect people?
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.

What is mistral wind?
The mistral is the name of a local, downslope wind which blows in the Provence region, in France. The mistral is more precisely a cold, dry wind which accelerates by the Venturi effect, as the wind passes through the Rhône Valley between the Alps mountains and the Cevennes mountains and dries out brutally as the wind descends the valley. The mistral usually blows from north. The mistral is a katabatic wind, which usually brings clear skies and sunny weather to the Provence. This strong wind, that usually blows at very high speeds, sometimes at more than 100 km/h helps to explain the unusually sunny and dry climate of the Provence (2 700 to 2 900 hours of sunshine per year), compared with the rest of the France and even the entire Europe. The mistral is well-known for his good health benefit since the dry wind also blow the dust and the air pollution away, which makes the air especially clear. The mistral blows regulary, and is largely responsible of the dryness of the Provence, in the seasons outside the summer. The mistral has the same characteristics as another cold, dry wind which also blows in France near the Provence, the tramontane, which generally blows from northwest. The weather may be cloudy and even rain when the mistral blows but this is very rate. The mistral usually takes place when the air flow is cold and from the north or even better if there is a cold front, which comes from north/northwest.
