Unstable Weather
Monday, September 10, 1997
(Everest North Face advance base camp, Tibet)

My computer batteries were not charged enough to send the Email. Today the weather is very unstable, but that is normal at 21500'. One minute is sunny and hot -85 to 90F=30C and in the next few minutes it is snowing; the temperature drops to 10C=50F and that was happening all day. By 5pm the temperate dropped to 45F=5C and during the night went to30F= OC. Today the KOREAN team was still looking in the avalanche area for their member — unsuccessfully.
