The Weather

The weather on Everest is a critical factor to the missions' success and monitoring it consistently is the job of a team of specialists based on the mountain.

The team will also be in contact with specialist weather centres in the UK to ensure they have an accurate prediction of when their clear weather window is likely to be.
