Historical climate at one selected model cell. Higher routes, sheltered valleys and exposed ridges can differ substantially.
Model elevation: 2,136 m · Historical period: 1991–2025
Trail wind is not available here. This model does not resolve exposed ridges or gusts; check a local mountain forecast.
Selected cell: -3.2, 36.8
Temperature sampling window (local time, limited to daylight): 08:00–18:00.
A wet day has at least 1 mm of total precipitation (including snow water equivalent). It may rain for only part of the day.
A snow day meets either model threshold: 10% snow cover or 2 cm snow depth.
Choose a specific route and check its distance, ascent, difficulty, current access and forecast. These are not supplied by the climate model.
The monthly value represents the selected representative ERA5-Land grid cell. It deliberately does not pretend to describe every route across the region.
-3.2, 36.8 · 2,136 m
Mount Meru sits at about 2,136.4 metres and has no closed hiking season. In all 12 scored months, temperature, rainfall and snow stay inside the limits at which we withhold a recommendation. Temperature moves 4.9 degrees across the year, from 16 in July to 21 in February.
Although the whole year clears the recommendation gate, the months are not interchangeable. Rain falls on about 3 percent of days in July, compared with 71 percent in April. Hikers prioritising drier conditions should start with July, then compare its temperature with February.
The strongest scored month is June: about 17 degrees in the hiking window, rain on 6 percent of days, and 12 hours of daylight.
Every figure comes from one selected ERA5-Land model grid cell at -3.20, 36.80, 2,136.4 metres, averaged over 1991 to 2025. It describes that point rather than every route in the region, and it is not a forecast. Wind is coarse 10 metre grid wind, not a statement about exposed paths or gusts.
