Climate in Mountain Regions 3.2.1 Air Temperatures in Mountain Regions Air temperatures decrease with increasing elevation In the Alps, the temperatures of the free atmosphere drop, according to the adiabatic lapse rate, by an annual mean 0.55–0.62 C per 100 m and during the summer ca 0.60–0.65 C per 100 m from the bottom of the valley to the high mountain regions (Franz 1979) C L€tz (ed.), Plants in Alpine .
