Weather systems coming off the Bay of Bengal are forced upwards by the Himalaya mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Mid-June through early-August is the monsoon season. The months of April, May, September, and October offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.Everest Treks: A Month By Month Review of the Best Seasons, Brinley Clark, Himalayanwonders.com, Retrieved April 16, 2025.
