Hey y'all,
In general, I don't pay enough attention to the temperature. Most of my hikes are day hikes. However, I'm looking to do an overnight coming up. My previous overnights have been in some warmer weather. It currently says it might be as low as 44 degrees at night in Troutdale near where I'm going to be hiking.
My question is, for those of you who pay close attention, if it says 44 degrees, how much lower is it typically in the higher elevations. Is there any kind of good standard to bo by when predicting tempuratures (like "it's always 2 degrees colder per 500 ft of altitude" or something like that)?
Any input appreciated,
Thanks,
