白山稜線は強風に注意。午後は風弱まり視界回復へ

As of 7 AM, Hakusan Summit reports partly cloudy skies with a temperature of 1.5 degrees Celsius, feeling like minus 2 degrees Celsius due to wind chill. Humidity is high at 98%, and while the average wind speed is 3 m/s, gusts have reached 17 m/s. Hikers approaching ridges such as Gozenmine or Onanjimine must be aware of these strong gusts which could cause loss of balance, demanding extra caution. Given the low perceived temperature, ensure you wear a quick-drying base layer, a fleece or similar mid-layer, and a windproof, waterproof outer shell. Carry extra insulation for stops.

Current ground conditions show zero snowfall, but high humidity and rising daytime temperatures suggest wet trails overall. Expect muddy sections, particularly in shaded areas or where water accumulates along routes like the Sabo Shindo. Crampons or microspikes are not necessary, but waterproof hiking boots with good grip are recommended. Although precipitation probability increases at times, the forecast indicates zero actual precipitation, minimizing thunderstorm risk. Nevertheless, a full set of rain gear (jacket and pants) should be carried as a precaution.

Gusts are expected to remain around 12 m/s until approximately 9 AM, gradually decreasing to 0.92 m/s by noon. The weather is forecast to improve to mostly clear conditions in the afternoon, offering good visibility. Temperatures will remain above freezing after sunset, but completing your descent before nightfall is strongly advised to mitigate hypothermia risks due to declining perceived temperatures.
