Mount Everest Temperature: It's Not Measured in Degrees Celsius

The question contains a misunderstanding. Mount Everest's summit temperature is not a fixed value—it varies wildly by season, time of day, and weather. Typical summit temperatures:

• Winter: -30°C to -60°C (-22°F to -76°F)
• Spring (climbing season): -15°C to -30°C (5°F to -22°F)
• With wind chill: Can feel below -60°C (-76°F)

The coldest recorded is around -60°C (-76°F). The earlier claim of -179°C or -298°F is physically impossible for Earth's surface (absolute zero is -273.15°C). Always cite realistic meteorological data.
