Records from new high altitude weather stations reveal the meteorological conditions on Mt Everest during the 2019 monsoon. To summarise, the new weather observations from close to the summit of Mt Everest indicate that winds weaken and temperatures climb as the summer monsoon begins, due to a combination of warming at lower elevations and a shallowing of the LR. For example, around 10% of monthly-mean January temperatures at the famous Mount Washington Observatory (1916m, New Hampshire, USA[1]) fell below -19.1°C from the period of 1975 to 2004 (the most recent 30-year period archived at the KNMI climate explorer).[2] The high insolation found on the upper slopes of Mt Everest could also make it I feel i much warmer than indicated by the air temperature.
