Weather in Tibet, lower temperatures due to the higher altitudes. Winters (November to March) are cold (the average temperature in January is -2°C) but there isn't all that much snow. Summers (May to September) have warm days with strong sunshine and cool nights. At higher elevations (ie above 4000m) even summer days can be chilly. During spring and autumn you need to be prepared for four seasons in one day, including the possibility of snowfall.
There are some regional variations; northern and western Tibet are generally higher and colder. The monsoon affects parts of Tibet (particularly eastern Tibet) from mid-July to the end of September (July and August bring half of Tibet's annual rainfall).

The Hong Kong Disneyland will open Saturday a new theme park named Grizzly Gulch, which will provide tourists with an unexpected runaway adventure through Wild West attractions.
Grizzly Gulch, the largest themed area in Disneyland's expansion project, creates a setting of bustling western Golden Rush town of grizzly Gulch.
Innovative Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars takes guests on a runaway adventure which features forward launches, backward dashes, and rapid turns and crisscrosses in the themed area.
Hong Kong Disneyland's expansion includes the opening of Toy Story Land last year, Grizzly Gulch and the final installment of Mystic Point in 2013.
The three themed areas will "increase the size of the park by more than 25 percent," Tom Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts,said Friday at the opening ceremony of Grizzly Gulch.
Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung also attended the ceremony.
The story of Grizzly Gulch, which was created exclusively for Hong Kong Disneyland, begins with a family of grizzly bears scratching their backs against a boulder on Big Grizzly Mountain.
The scratching wore down the surface of the rock and revealed the gold inside, which attracted ever-increasing numbers of people to Grizzly Gulch for gold mining. The town of Grizzly Gulch was established in this way.
The Hong Kong Disneyland opened in September 2005, having received more than 31 million tourists from around the world. It launched the three-phase expansion in order to boost the number of visitors.

The total distance, covered in a complete circumambulation of Mount Kailash according to the route charted by Gotsangpa, is 52km and takes about 13 to 15 hours. Tibetan pilgrims generally start early in the morning and complete one circumambulation by nightfall. Most Tibetan pilgrims do three to thirteen circumambulations of Mount Kailash. There are some who do 108 circumambulations of Mount Kailash.
