“Adiabatic compression occurs in the Earth’s atmosphere when an air mass descends … When a parcel of air descends, the pressure on the parcel increases. Because of this increase in pressure, the parcel’s volume decreases and its temperature increases as work is done on the parcel of air, thus increasing its internal energy.”

…”Temperatures across Italy and the central Balkans are forecast to peak in the low-40s this week, and will be highest from Thursday through Saturday.
