Wednesday, 17 FEB, Shira 2 camp

Arrived here at mid day, 12,600' elevation. Raining lightly, but everyone doing well. Can anyone Google Kili weather and post a forecast to the blog site for us? Cell service is so spotty we haven't been able to get one, but we are camped next to a weather data collection site. More as conditions allow.

Kwaheri,

    If I am reading your weather link correctly looks cloudy Wednesday night through Thurs am but clearing Thurs pm highs around upper 30s, winds around 5mph. Looking pretty clear the next few days as you head up to 16,000 temp drop to 30ish and 20ish as you continue up. Winds still forcast around 5mph.

    Will look again in a bit and see if that is correct when I have more time.
