The climate of the Alps is the climate, or average weather conditions over a long period of time, of the exact middle Alpine region of Europe. As air rises from sea level to the upper regions of the atmosphere the temperature decreases. The effect of mountain topography on prevailing winds is to force warm air from the lower region into an upper zone where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow, rain or hail.

  • La température varie naturellement avec l'altitude. Dans les Alpes, en moyenne, la température diminue de 0,65 °C pour 100 m (1 °C pour 154 m), avec des variations importantes selon les versants, leur degré de végétalisation, etc. De manière plus générale le gradient thermique varie en fonction de l'humidité relative, entre 0,4°/100 m dans une masse d'air saturée en humidité et 1°/100 m dans un air très sec.
