What the Hell!…..We better bring the thermals!

Not sure what to say about this… we have been checking the weather at EBC (Everest base Camp) for a few weeks now and it doesn’t seem to be getting any warmer. Below is the weather forecast for the next few days and it’s not looking like BBQ weather to me. We are expecting the daily temps to be around zero to -5 at night and approx 17-23 for daytime temps. With the current temps where they are, we are going to need a big turn around to hit our target conditions by the time we get to Kathmandu.
