Everest forecast - From SMHI and AdventureWeather.com
By ExplorersWeb
*******************************************************************
Synopsis Everest 0325--0329 summit level

Jet:
A westerly jet will be situated over ME at first with core just north of
the mountain. The Jet is weakening and in the end of the period the core
will be situated south of ME.

Summit:
9000 m: West 30-40 m/s. From the weekend decreasing to 20-25 m/s.
7500 m: West 20-28 m/s, from the weekend decreasing to 10-15 m/s.

Weather:
A minor ridge over northeastern India-Nepal-Tibet will give mainly dry
conditions over ME at start but the ridge is moving slowly to the south.
An upper circulation over Pakistan is slowly moving eastwards and at the
same time weakening. This will cause some local showers over ME-area.
