Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at Namche Bazaar, on the base-camp trek: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

June: about usual. Busiest in May.

What to pack

  • Warm layers for the evenings, which drop to about 7°C.
  • Rain gear you will actually use: about 26 rainy days and 489 mm.
  • Sun protection: about 10 hours of sunshine a day.
  • Humidity averages 90%; breathable fabrics dry faster.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.

Before you go

Type C and D plugs at 230 V. Drives on the left. The currency is the Nepalese rupee. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Nepal: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

On arrival in Mount Everest: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
