稜線は薄霧と低温。足元は湿潤に注意

Current conditions at the summit of Mt. Hakusan show a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, feeling like 7.7 degrees Celsius. Visibility is less than 1km and is expected to remain low throughout the day. Winds are light from the southwest at 1.17m/s. While the base is warm at 18.4 degrees Celsius, the significant 9.4-degree difference highlights the drastic environmental change with elevation.

Daytime temperatures will hover around 10 degrees Celsius with light winds. Although there is a 100 percent chance of precipitation, the forecast indicates zero rainfall, suggesting the presence of fog or mist leading to damp conditions. The ground will be wet, and rocky sections may be slippery. The ridges leading to Gozenmine and Onanjimine will likely suffer from poor visibility, increasing the risk of getting lost. Exercise extreme caution with route finding, making sure to use a map, compass, and GPS.

Appropriate layering for a perceived temperature of 7.7 degrees Celsius is crucial. Wear a quick-drying synthetic or merino wool base layer. Carry a fleece or light down jacket as a mid-layer to wear during breaks. A waterproof and breathable rain jacket and pants are essential as an outer layer. Gloves and a knit hat are also recommended for protection against cold and dampness. While the risk of lightning and strong winds is low, be mindful of potential delays due to poor visibility and drops in body temperature during breaks. Take adequate precautions against hypothermia, especially when resting at Murodo.
