Altitude weather delta

High 4,281 m minus low 2,690 m is 1,591 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 10.3 °C cooler at the high point than the valley, all else equal.

That is a model (International Standard Atmosphere environmental lapse), not a forecast and not a trail-closure. Wind, snow, and storms stay in Hazards.
