32.15K/km
That's 1.29× as steep as the geothermal gradient — nothing on our list beats it. Climbing the 3,800 m from Chamonix to the top of Mont Blanc, that is 122.2 °C colder.
What it means
How fast does it cool?
Real lapse rates change with humidity, time of day and weather; inversions make them negative.
The math
How to convert °C/1000 ft to K/km
To convert degrees Celsius per 1,000 feet to kelvins per kilometer, multiply by 3.28084.
Example: 9.8 °C/1000 ft × 3.28084 = 32.1522 K/km.
In the other direction, 1 K/km = 0.3048 °C/1000 ft.
