富良野山頂は霧雨のち気温急変。泥濘に足元取られぬよう注意

In the morning, the Furano Ski Resort summit area will experience light drizzle, with temperatures gradually rising. The current summit condition is cloudy, 4.8℃ with a felt temperature of 2.4℃. The base is 8.4℃, showing a 3.6℃ difference. Temperatures are expected to reach 7.8℃ at 9 AM and 9℃ by noon, but the ground will remain wet due to continuous drizzle. Trails in the Furano Ropeway summit direct connection area are anticipated to be muddy, requiring careful footing to avoid slips.

The weather will change rapidly in the afternoon. By 3 PM, the temperature will sharply drop to 2℃, with wind speeds reaching 4.75m/s and gusts up to 17.3m/s. Drizzle is also expected to intensify. A significant temperature drop of 8℃ is forecasted within the period, increasing the risk of hypothermia during activity. It is essential to carry an extra layer of insulation, and waterproof breathable outerwear, waterproof gloves, and a knit cap are mandatory. The felt temperature could momentarily drop below freezing due to the wind chill.

Strong winds will persist until evening, and the risk of Furano Ropeway suspension should be considered. With reduced visibility, it is crucial to conclude activities early and make timely decisions to turn back. Temperatures will further drop to 0.7℃ at night, becoming clear by midnight, but cold conditions will persist. Even in this season, the extreme cold risk at the summit, a characteristic of Furano, cannot be ignored.
