Weather on a mountain is usually colder due to the higher elevations. The density of air particles in the mountains is lower than locations at sea level. In addition, depending on the side of a mountain you are on, the rain shadow effect can create wet conditions on the windward side of the mountain and dry conditions on the leeward side.

Mountain weather conditions can change dramatically from one hour to the next. For example, in just a few minutes a thunder storm can roll in when the sky was perfectly clear, and in just a few hours the temperatures can drop from extremely hot temperatures to temperatures that are below freezing.
