Does anyone have much experience of using mountain-forecast.com for pre-trip weather forecasts? Any thoughts on its accuracy?
For those who don't know it, it provides forecasts for specific mountains all around the world, even giving separate forecasts for certain altitudes on the mountain. I think it's aimed at climbers. Given I'm now under 3 weeks from doing a hike in Peru (Ausangate Circuit - relevant forecast at https://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks ... casts/4500), I've started having a look at the forecast. My research for this hike has led me to expect daytime temps anywhere between single figures and high teens and nighttime temps regularly down to -5 or even -10. The temps in the forecast at 4500m (I'll be around that altitude a lot of the time) are a bit colder in the day than that but much milder overnight.
The mountain-forecast.com forecast for Mt Hotham (at 1861m) is quite different to BOM. A little cooler in daytime and a few degrees warmer overnight.
Thanks.
