The Murder Winds
When air hits the Alps, it sometimes drops moisture on the windward side and descends into the leeward side and the land beyond as a warm, dry wind. This increases the incidence of headache and depression in Central Europe. Heart attacks and suicides are also blamed on these “Murder Winds”. The effect has not been accounted for.
