Rereading this week's Sunday Telegraph I came across this fascinating snippet:

Warmest place in Europe: Mallnitz Austria 28.9C (84F) Dec 11th.

I blinked when I saw that too.


Surely a typo? Googling it reveals it's a high Alpine valley ski resort
(1191m.) Isn't it impossible for a Foehn to bring such a high temp. so
late in the year-or at any other time of year for that matter?
Thoughts please.

Certainly at this time of year it seems to me that it must be beyond
what's possible.
