class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historical register<\/h3><p>For example, you may find it useful to know what kind of storms or challenges you are likely to face in a certain season, which will also be useful to know what kind of storms or challenges you are likely to face.<a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/mountain-hiking-clothing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> clothing and necessary equipment<\/a> for dispatch.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather report<\/h3><p>Even if you are travelling to a particular area in summer, remember that nowadays the seasons can have variations or unusual periods, and you may be surprised by heavy storms or dense fog conditions.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Al_momento\"><\/span>At the moment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>You'll also want to check conditions on the day of your trip; you can call local destinations or check with locals, but if you can pick out the signs in the air yourself, it's even better to know the weather outlook in detail.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consideraciones_basicas_de_montana\"><\/span>Basic mountain considerations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>To climb the mountain, it is of great value to get up early, as generally during the first part of the day the air gets warmer and consequently rises, while in the afternoon it begins to descend, increasing the chances of rain and strong winds.<\/p><p>For this reason, <strong>it is recommended to try to reach the summit as early as possible.<\/strong>This also depends on the distance and the level of challenge.<\/p><p>Also consider that the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature; and if this is combined with humid conditions, this can lead to rainfall at higher altitudes, even if not a drop of rain falls on the foothills.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aprendiendo_a_predecir_el_clima\"><\/span>Learning to predict the weather<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>In order to know if a storm is approaching, it is important to take into account different factors, of course our observation and attention will be essential to take into account details such as <strong>the shape of the clouds and their height;<\/strong> but it will also be helpful to have <strong>meteorological instruments <\/strong>as a <strong>thermometer <\/strong>to monitor temperature changes, a <strong>hygrometer <\/strong>to monitor humidity conditions, a <strong>anemometer <\/strong>to evaluate variations in wind direction and intensity, as well as a <strong>barometer <\/strong>to know the atmospheric pressure.<\/p><p>Some of these factors can be identified through experience, although if we are just starting out, these devices will allow us to ensure our forecasts are more accurate, and there is now portable equipment that allows us to measure all these indicators with a single device.<\/p><p>Unless you are a meteorology enthusiast, you will not normally leave your home with the <a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/montana-backpacks\/\">backpack<\/a> The weather is full of all these kinds of devices, but you will be able to identify many of the meteorological processes if you observe the environment around you and inform yourself about them.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warm fronts<\/h3><p>A warm front will not usually be accompanied by violent weather, but adverse conditions can last for quite a while, so it is useful to identify them.<\/p><p>In this case, a mass of warm air rises above the cold air, driving it up to its dew point, which can cause rainfall.<\/p><p>If the <strong>atmospheric pressure begins to fall, while humidity begins to rise, <\/strong>are indications of a warm front; and if this is also combined with low clouds, showers could develop, even if the wind remains relatively calm.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-7125\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\"
