has gloss | eng: Thermal lows are non-frontal low-pressure areas that occur over the continents in the subtropics such as near the Sonoran Desert, the Mexican plateau, Sahara, South America over northwest Argentina, Australia, the Iberian peninsula, and Tibetan plateau during the warm season as the result of intense heating when compared to their surrounding environments. Over land, intense, rapid solar heating of the lower layers of air creates hot air, which is less dense than surrounding cooler air. This, combined with the rising of the hot air, results in the formation of a low pressure area. Elevated areas can enhance the strength of the thermal low as they warm quicker than the atmosphere that surrounds them at the same altitude. Over the water, thermal lows form during the winter when the air overlying the water bodies is colder than the warmer water. |

has gloss | deu: Ein Hitzetief ist ein durch starke Sonneneinstrahlung über dem Kontinent entstehendes flaches, stationäres Tiefdruckgebiet mit geringer Ausdehnung. Über den durch die Sonne erwärmten Boden wird die Troposphäre von unten erwärmt, was zu einer Labilisierung der unteren Luftschichten und zu Vertikalbewegungen führt. Das Hitzetief bleibt in der Regel in dem Gebiet, in dem es sich entwickelt hat, und legt keine so große Distanzen wie ein mittelgroßer Zyklon zurück. |

Dei oppstår altså ikkje i samband med frontar. |
