We have the exact same thing here in Brookings, Oregon.  We call it the Chetco Effect because it comes down the Chetco River from east to west and gets very hot before it spreads out into the ocean.  This wind can happen any day of the year even winter and be 100 KM/hour steady hot.  Once ten years ago the wind was 90 km/hour and 49 C, it was horrible, dried up everything, killed many plants.  Charles's Gas Laws V1/T1 = V2/T2, V - Volume, T - Temperature, so when volume of a gas is compressed like air coming down a mountain it heats up proportionally, I think.  Not all Chetco Effects or Foehn's are bad, some are mild and really nice in mid winter.  I call it a summer in winter and hence a "Banana Belt".

Very very interesting. This sounds rather extreme. It's not like that here. But the mountains are also not that high. Usually just air warming up a bit while sinking down into our river valley.

You can try phoenix theophrasti, jubaea chilensis or mazari palm which I suspect like drier weather that is available in Norway or Sweden even though you have to protect it. Född i Sverige prova det och säg hur det går.

The mazari palm is not suited for our northern climate. to damp and not hot enough to grow. they just decline in our climate and can not take a lot of cold when they have not gotten a long and hot season to grow.
