Three-day outlook
Open-Meteo weather model, downscaled to 2,732 m. DHM publishes no machine-readable mountain forecast, so this comes from a model rather than from Nepal's meteorological service — treat it as indicative.

Hazards
Only the hazards that apply to this route are listed. Individual hazards keep the meteorological wording — advisory, watch, warning — and the worst of them is what sets the route's state above.
