WNI Headline
Latest satellite imagery shows fairly dry conditions at higher elevations with mainly low clouds lingering around the Mountain currently. A good amount of moisture will be injected into the Everest area at the surface. Showers will be the main threat this period as the jet stream to the north will stay fairly weak. Winds at the summit will be around 10-15 m/s today and early tomorrow, but otherwise they will be around 5-10 m/s. Below the summit should have winds around 5-10 m/s with winds near 7500m approaching 15 m/s today. There is a chance for storms late tonight/early tomorrow morning with heavy storms possible on Saturday through early next week. The storms will likely stay below 7000m-7500m.
Below 7500m – There is a chance for showers late tonight/early tomorrow morning with heavy showers likely tomorrow through Sunday. On Monday showers may be more widespread and below 7000m. Tuesday is another day for showers, heavy at times. The showers may taper off by the end of the day on Wednesday, but confidence is low at this point. Winds will be relatively light, aside from the increased winds during the storms. Expect winds to be around 5-10 m/s this period.
Above 7500m – Winds will ease today to around 10-15 m/s tonight and ease further to around 10 m/s early tomorrow morning. We are expecting the winds to be around 5-10 m/s this period with the summit hanging around the 10-15 m/s range this entire period. There is a chance for high clouds/showers early tomorrow morning and most of Saturday. By Sunday the showers should be confined to below 7500m.
Monsoon - The monsoon continues to be late this year, but it is still expected to expand into the Central/Southern Bay of Bengal this forecasting period. Sri Lanka is forecast to have monsoonal flow by Sunday with the tip of India having a monsoonal influence on either Sunday or Monday.
Safe Climbing!
