Föhn is a local strong wind coming down from the Alps. You didn't know they have Föhn in Japan, right? Even going by the same name (in Katakana) it comes down from the Japanese Alps next to Toyama on the Nihon-kai side of Honshu (main island towards Russia). Geography and Föhn course of today - for free.

Last big(ger) so called Hurricane in the South of Europe mainly was "Lothar" in 1999. At wind speeds up to 160 miles/hr that one was 35% heavier than Kyrill. Mind those speeds all measured at summit weather stations of the Alps or the Harz between East and West Germany.

That for sure is different from a flatland FL hurricane of the same strength.
