 A general rule of thumb is that **the temperature will drop 3.5F for every 1000' increase in elevation**.((3.54F is more accurate but less useful as a rule of thumb))  Low humidity will cause a greater swing, as it does when the sun goes down in the desert.  A theoretical location with 0% humidity would see a 5.4F drop per thousand while a 100% humid location would see only 2.7F.((https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/25964/#post-1545479)) A general rule of thumb is that **the temperature will drop 3.5F for every 1000' increase in elevation**.((3.54F is more accurate but less useful as a rule of thumb))  Low humidity will cause a greater swing, as it does when the sun goes down in the desert.  A theoretical location with 0% humidity would see a 5.4F drop per thousand while a 100% humid location would see only 2.7F.((https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/25964/#post-1545479))

 Nomads who regularly change altitude significantly may benefit from fuel injected (FI) vehicles over carbureted ones; FI systems automatically compensate for varying oxygen levels.  Nomads who regularly change altitude significantly may benefit from fuel injected (FI) vehicles over carbureted ones; FI systems automatically compensate for varying oxygen levels.
