Climate in the alps

Answer 1

maybe because of the altitude of the mountains, its a big factor in weather. A lot of times very local weatherforecasts are needed... every valley can differ from any other at times. Then it's about Thermodynamics, too... air (humid) from south climbes over the Alps... when the temperature is below a certain point it rains... the dry air descends on the other side and gets warmed... reaching the north it's warmer than before (not humid any more). This wind is called "Föhn", the same word is used for hairdryer in german... and yes, the wind in the north can be very strong. But it feels pleasant as it is warm. On open (just less mountainous if you're talking about Switzerland) land, the thunders can be heard much better than in the valleys. It seem that tempests do not really "enter" the valley but pass above. During summertime Switzerland has very often tempest in the evening, because of colder and warmer airs meeting.

Answer 2

The Alps cover 60% of Switzerland and stretches 1,200 km (750mi) across 8 Alpine countries. The climate varies greatly even in short areas.

The climate is affected by 4 main influences:

• West: mild moist air of the Atlantic Ocean
• North: cool or cold polar air from Northern Europe
• East: cold and dry in winter and hot in summer
• South: warm Mediterranean air

The highest temperatures run about 11.5C or 53F with a record of 41.5C of 107F.

The lowest temperatures run about -7.9C or 18F with a record of -41.8C or -43F.

Answer 3

The Alps are located in middle to southern Europe and roughly speaking have their climate at 'bottom level'. But as everywhere on Earth: the higher you get in terms of altitude, the colder it gets. So on top of most Alp mountains you will find snow and ice and sub-zero temperatures the year round. The lower you get, the more the climate becomes similar to the not-mountanious regions around them. That climate is on average: mild summers and slightly below-zero winters.

Answer 4

In the winter, and at higher altitudes, it is cold, windy, and snowy. During the summer, most of the Alps have a more temperate climate, and there are many forests and valley meadows.
