On the top, the warmest average daily Mount Everest temperature (in July) is just around −19 ° C (−2 ° F). In January, the coldest month, peak temperatures average −36 ° C (−33 ° F) and can drop to −60 ° C (−76 ° F). During the summer monsoon, Mount Everest temperature is relaxed. Precipitation falls as snow (late May until mid-September). On Everest, the chance of frostbite is extremely high for climbers. In the spring months of April and May, wearing t-shirts all the way up to camp 3. Storms can suddenly pop up, and Mount Everest Temperature can suddenly plunge. During the winter hurricane-force winds can build to over 285 km/h (177 mph) when the jet stream dips south. Those winds relax in From 15th December until the end of -37°C (-35F) while those at Everest Base Camp average -17°C (1.4°F). The Everest peak is so high that it approaches the lower limit of the jet stream, and it can be buffeted by more than 100 miles (160 km) of sustained winds per hour. Everest lies at the edge of the Indian Monsoons effect that brings moisture and clouds between ...

Sources have told me they expect the Ministry to issue between 400 and 500 climbing permits for Mount Everest, and twice that number for other Himalayan peaks this spring. This would represent a The Ministry estimates the between 30 and 40 climbing teams will be at Everest this year—these teams vary in size from just two people to more than 100 climbers plus several dozen support staff and guides. Many of these teams are still on the ten-day trek from the remote Nepali village, Luka, to Everest Base Camp. People already in Nepal report crowded trails and teahouses, suggesting the suffering tourism industry is recovering. The dedicated team of climbing Sherpas who manage the safety lines through the Icefall, a.k.a. the Icefall Doctors, have already set the line to Camp 2 at 21,500 feet in the Western Cwm. Some of these teams have found ways to shave time off of the traditional duration of an Everest expedition—which in years past has ranged up to two months in time. Much of this time is spent climbing up and down the mountain to higher and higher camps to acclimate to the thin air. This process of “climb high, sleep low” causes the body to create more red blood cells essential to fuel muscles in the low-oxygen environment during the summit push. Today, many climbers are using hypoxic altitude tents at home to simulate sleeping at high altitudes. They arrive at Everest with their bodies adjusted to as high as 23,000 feet, the same altitude as Camp 3. This cuts several rotati...

You’ve probably seen the What that photo doesn’t tell you is that the long queue was due, in part, to the weather. In 2019, stormy conditions and violent winds in the Himalayas allowed for just three suitable days of climbing on the world’s highest peak. The tight weather window meant that the hundreds of climbers and Sherpas in Base Camp made their respective summit attempts simultaneously on May 22, and people became stuck in bottlenecks that exist along the route. This doesn’t happen every year. Often, Everest will see two weeks of favorable weather, when winds at the summit drop below 30 miles per hour. In 2022, for example, clear and calm conditions lasted an unprecedented four consecutive weeks—practically the entire month of May. Hundreds of climbers reached the summit and there were few if any complaints of crowds or traffic jams. This week, the expedition leaders in Base Camp are carefully monitoring the weather reports in the Himalayas, and praying for conditions that mimic those of 2022 and not those from 2019. That’s because there are more climbers and Sherpas on Everest “If the weather allows several summit days, the amount of climbers is manageable. If the weather limits the possible summit day, like in 2019, there will be problems caused by the crowds, especially by slow climbers,” says Austrian guide Lukas Furtenbach of expedition company Furtenbach Adventures. “There are climbers on the mountain that need 18 hours from Base Camp to Camp I...
