### Overview
Halny is a meteorological phenomenon characteristic of the Carpathian Mountains, particularly affecting the Tatra range. It is a variant of the foehn wind, which forms when moist air ascends the windward side of the mountains, loses moisture, and then descends on the leeward side as warm, dry air.
### Characteristics
The halny wind typically occurs in autumn and spring but can appear at other times of the year. It is notable for its high speeds, sometimes exceeding 100 km/h, and its capacity to raise temperatures sharply while lowering humidity. These conditions can lead to rapid snowmelt and increased risk of avalanches.
### Impact
Halny influences local climate and ecosystems and can affect human activities by causing damage to forests, disrupting transportation, and impacting health due to sudden weather changes.
**Meta Description:**
Halny is a warm, dry foehn wind in the Tatra Mountains of Poland, known for its strong gusts and rapid weather changes. It significantly impacts local climate and environmental conditions.
