What are the climatic conditions of Mount Everest?
Mount Qomolangma, with its high peak and unique geographical environment, has a minimum temperature of MINUS 3-4 degrees Celsius all the year round.
There is no snow all the year round in some places on the mountain, and glaciers, ice slopes and ice pagodas can be seen everywhere. The air at the summit is thin, and the oxygen content of the air is only a quarter of that in the eastern plain, and there are often seven or eight winds. Generally speaking, the rainy season is from the beginning of June to the middle of September every year, and the strong southeast monsoon causes frequent rainstorms, fog, ice and snow. From mid-November to mid-February of the following year, due to the strong northwest cold current, the lowest temperature can reach -5℃ and the average temperature is around -3℃. The maximum wind speed can reach 9 meters per second. Every year from the beginning of March to the end of May, it is the spring from windy season to rainy season, and from the beginning of September to the end of October, it is the autumn from rainy season to windy season. During this period, there may be better weather, which is the best season for mountaineering.
Because of its extremely cold climate, it is also known as the roof of the world of the world. According to the radiosonde data of the heliostat weather station at the foot of Mount Everest, it is coldest in February with an average temperature of -27.1℃ and the hottest in August with an average temperature of -1.4℃ and an annual average temperature of -19.6℃. The general temperature of -3℃, plus the general wind speed of tens of meters per second, plus the sudden bad humidity. If you are interested, you can convert the somatosensory temperature according to the formula, and this is only the average data. During the extreme rainy and windy seasons, I'm afraid this value will increase a lot, and how exaggerated is this temperature? In the climbing history of Mount Qomolangma, since 1953, only .2% of the successful summit occurred in winter and .1% in summer. It can be said that at least up to now, the progress of science and technology and the accumulation of experience still can't cope with this temperature.
