Climatic characteristics of Chogory Peak

Not only is the terrain sinister, but the climate is also very bad. From May to September every year, the southwest monsoon brings warm and humid airflow, which is transformed into rain, which is the rainy season in this area. From mid-September to mid-April of the following year, a strong westerly wind struck, bringing severe winter. The lowest temperature on the summit can reach -50 degrees, and the highest wind speed can reach more than 25m/s, so it is a climate forbidden zone for mountaineering.

From May to September, due to the rising temperature, melting snow and falling water level, the water level in the valley often rises sharply, making it difficult to enter the mountains. Therefore, the best time for mountaineering activities should be arranged from May to early June, when the river rises, but it is not too serious. From July to September, the temperature at the top of the mountain is slightly higher and the good weather lasts for a long time, which is a good time to climb to the top.

Above 7000 meters above sea level, there are often winds above 8. The wind speed can reach more than 60 kilometers per hour, sometimes up to 25 meters per second. When it snows, it will drop continuously for 4 or 5 days, and the lowest temperature will reach -50 degrees. This mountain peak is shrouded in dense fog all the year round.
