Weather conditions will be different at the summit from conditions at the base, usually. The mountain doesn't even have to be massive for this to be true. Mt. Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is a modest 6,288 feet if memory serves. But as you hike or drive up, you move above the tree line and enter what is really tundra. There are no trees; just rock and lichen. It can be extremely windy and noticeably cooler than at the base. You can even be completely 'socked in' by cloud cover at the summit, even if it is a mostly sunny day at the base. There is also a wonderful cog railway that takes you to the summit, and the station is not far from the famous Mt Washington Hotel.
