Altitude weather delta
High 1,098 m minus low 282 m is 816 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 5.3 °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.

Name is the OSM relation name (Vasota Fort); no tag=* shield. Member ways are untagged for sac_scale; SAC stays ungraded.
