Everest Forecast 28 april
Today and tomorrow (28-29/04) solid multilayered cloudiness on the mountain. This results in moderate to temporarily heavy snowfall at places. This poor spell will last until late on the 29th (18-21utc). Conditions will still be unstable enough to generate a few significant showers on the 30th. The best spell of this period will be from late the 30th (18-21utc) until early on the 3th (9-12utc). Than it becomes increasingly unstable and the risk for snow or snow showers increases as well.
