  1. For the #weather nerds. #Calgary #skies on Oct 27, 2022. We’re famous for #Chinooks (#adiabatic winds or #Föhn / #Foehn winds) that can rapidly warm things by tens of degrees. It can go from -30 Deg C to 0 or even warmer, sometimes up to +10 Deg C, in a single day. That’s why many of us are always groaning about headaches 😩 Pano shows a pink #sunrise (typical winter colours), the Calgary skyline, and a dramatic Chinook arch—a harbinger of strong, warm #winds. #Atmospheric #Science #Physics
