How did the weather impact the Lewis and clark expedition?

Answer 1

They encountered very dry, rough, and hot weather. But then once they got to the Rockies, it was extremely cold that they had to build forts. Once they got to the Pacific Ocean, they were rained in by cold weather and had to build another fort

Answer 2

Most of the time the weather was well enough for travel. But sometimes it would be too foggy for the boats to travel or too cold to leave camp. Also, rain would cause the instruments to rust so Lewis had to constantly check them and oil them down again. During the winter at Fort Mandan, the men suffered from frostbite, luckily leading to no necessary amputations, but the cold temperatures prevented them from leaving their forts to hunt.
