伊吹山 夏の突風注意。午後は雨具を携行

Ibuki-yama summit is partly cloudy with an actual temperature of 18.8°C and a feels like temperature of 19.1°C. At the base, the feels like temperature is 28.9°C, indicating a significant temperature difference. Hikers ascending the Omote Tozando (Ueno Trailhead) should be wary of heatstroke and physical exhaustion due to the rapid elevation gain. While starting the ascent in warm conditions, the summit can be chilly due to strong winds. It is crucial to carry quick-drying base layers, a light fleece or long-sleeved shirt, and a windproof and waterproof outer shell, adjusting layers frequently to regulate body temperature.

Winds from the WNW are expected, with current gusts at 12.8 m/s and forecasted gusts up to 16.4 m/s in the afternoon. These are very strong winds that can cause loss of balance on exposed ridges and significantly lower the felt temperature. Although no precipitation is currently forecast, the chance of rain increases to 76% around noon. If caught in rain and strong winds, the risk of hypothermia rises sharply. Carrying full rain gear (jacket and pants) is essential, and wear them promptly if conditions worsen.

The ground is currently dry to slightly damp, but afternoon precipitation will likely lead to wet and muddy sections. The limestone terrain can be slippery when wet, so exercise extreme caution with foot placement. Visibility is good, but be prepared for potential fog-induced disorientation if weather conditions deteriorate suddenly; a map and GPS are indispensable. The forecast indicates improving weather conditions, becoming clear to fair by evening, but ensure to complete your descent before sunset.
