Climate
[edit | edit source]Based on the Köppen climate classification, Angel Sar is located in a tundra climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.[7] Weather systems are forced upwards by the mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. October through November is the monsoon season. The months of June, July, and August offer the most favorable weather for visiting or climbing this peak.[8]
