Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

The incorrect pair is Bora - Poland. Bora is a cold, dry, gusty katabatic wind that blows from the Dinaric and Balkan highlands down to the Adriatic coast, around Trieste, Croatia and Dalmatia. It has nothing to do with Poland.

• Fohn - Alps: Correct. A warm, dry descending wind on the leeward slopes of the Alps, formed by adiabatic warming as moist air loses its moisture on the windward side.
• Mistral - Rhone plateau: Correct. A cold, dry northerly wind funnelled through the Rhone valley into the Gulf of Lion in southern France.
• Khamsin - Egypt: Correct. A hot, dusty, dry southerly wind of Egypt and the Sahara, mainly in spring.

The core concept is local winds, classed by their origin and character: orographic winds such as Foehn, katabatic winds such as Bora and Mistral, and desert dust winds such as Khamsin. For Mains, this links to climate geography and to how terrain controls regional weather and fire risk.

Trap: Candidates often assume a wind with a European name must belong to a country in central Europe. Bora is an Adriatic wind, so place it by its coastline, not by the country name.
