\"Map<\/a><\/p>\n

The weather affects a mountain outing far more than it may seem. It not only determines whether it is worth heading out: it also influences the route, timing, water you need and the gear it makes sense to carry.<\/p>\n

Checking a nearby weather station helps you understand what is really happening in the area. This is particularly useful before hiking in the mountains, where conditions can be quite different from those in a nearby town or in the general forecast for the province.<\/p>\n

Map of mountain weather stations<\/h2>\n

Years ago, we found this map of weather stations in Spain<\/strong>, maintained by its creators, which brings together measuring points from public bodies, individuals and private companies, such as ski resorts and hotels.<\/p>\n

If there is a station close to your route, you can check recorded data for the area, such as temperature, humidity or rainfall, and review how it has changed over the last hours, days, weeks or months.<\/p>\n

It is important to understand what this tool offers: it is useful for checking observed data at a specific point, not for replacing a weather forecast. A station at a different altitude, on another aspect or a few kilometres away may record different conditions.<\/p>\n
