The Impact of Foehn Wind on Mental Distress among Patients in a Swiss Psychiatric Hospital [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022 Psychiatric patients are particularly vulnerable to strong weather stimuli, such as foehn, a hot wind that occurs in the alps. However, there is a dearth of research regarding its impact on mental health. This study investigated the impact of foehn wind among patients of a psychiatric hospital located in a foehn area in the Swiss Alps.

Impact of Foehn Wind and Related Environmental Variables on the Incidence of Cardiac Events [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 In Poland there is no data related to the impact of halny wind and the related environmental variables on the incidence of cardiac events. We decided to investigate the relationship between this weather phenomenon, as well as the related environmental variables, and the incidence of cardiac events in the population of southern Poland, a region affected

The foehn wind east of the Andes in a 20-year climate simulation [PDF]
Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, 2020 This study investigates the spatial structure and the seasonal occurrence of foehn wind to the east of the Andes using a flow blocking analysis in a 20-year climate simulation. The latter was performed by the Eta-CPTEC regional model at 50-km horizontal resolution.

The risk of hospitalization associated with foehn winds and temperature in the mountainous region of Switzerland. [PDF]
Environ EpidemiolBackground: Foehn winds are intense warm winds, common in mountain regions, but their health impacts and potential to exacerbate existing heat-related risks remain poorly understood. This is particularly concerning for rural areas where older, heat-vulnerable individuals live. Objective:
