Yes, I think places like Kinloss and Lossiemouth, on the coast of the
Moray Firth and to the north of mountains, occasionally show evidence of
it. However it seems to be more common in north Wales to the north of
Snowdonia.

Thank you, John.

What weather specific weather conditions would cause these fohn winds?
What time year would they occur in Scotland and in Wales? The chinook
winds in western Canada only occur in the winter.

On a separate, yet related note, maybe the person from the Moray Firth
region (I think there is one) from this group could provide insight.
