The surrounding mountain ranges modify the impact of winds and other climatic forces progressing towards the country: for example, the invasion of cold fronts is slowed and some winds assume a foehn-like character.
Okolni planinski lanci mijenjaju utjecaj vjetrova i drugih klimatskih sila koje napreduju prema zemlji: na primjer, invazija hladnih fronti se usporava, a neki vjetrovi poprimaju karakter vjetra fena.
