Short summary
This research examines foehn events in Beijing using weather station data from 2015 to 2020. We found an average of 56.5 foehn days annually, primarily in winter. These winds can raise temperatures significantly and are associated with air pollution levels. Strong foehn winds tend to reduce pollution, while weaker winds may increase it. Our study highlights the impact of foehn events on air quality, providing valuable insights for urban planning and environmental management.
