Altitude weather delta

High 4,826 m minus low 2,356 m is 2,470 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 16.1 °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.
