青空広がる穏やかな登山日和。稜線歩きは快適

Hakkoda summit currently shows cloudy skies with 10.6°C. The base is 15.5°C, a difference of approximately 5°C. Conditions are expected to clear towards midday, reaching 14.4°C by noon. Winds will remain generally light, with gusts up to 8m/s. The route from Tamoyachidake by ropeway to Mount Odake should be comfortable for hiking.

No snow accumulation is observed, and the ground is anticipated to be dry to partially damp. Neither crampons nor microspikes are necessary. However, caution is advised around Jigokunuma (Hell Pond) due to potential volcanic gas accumulation, especially with calm winds. Absolutely do not enter restricted areas.

For today's activity, a quick-drying base layer, a light fleece mid-layer, and a windproof outer shell are recommended. The perceived temperature during activity will be around 10°C, but it could drop to around 6°C during afternoon gusts or rest periods.

A rapid temperature drop of 7°C is forecast within the period. Temperatures will significantly decrease, particularly from late afternoon onwards. Carry an additional insulating layer and plan to complete your activities early. Nighttime travel is not recommended due to increased risk of hypothermia.
