夏の穏やかな一日。午後には弱い霧雨

The Sapporo Teine summit this morning presents a mild condition with light clouds, a temperature of 20.6°C, and a comfortable feel of 22.8°C. Winds are light, and visibility is excellent, offering clear views of Sapporo city and Ishikari Bay. The ground is dry and suitable for hiking.

Temperatures are expected to rise to 24.6°C by noon. A light drizzle is forecast around this time, but the precipitation will be minimal, so mud is not a concern. However, carrying a waterproof and breathable shell jacket is essential, as getting wet can lower your perceived temperature. A quick-drying base layer t-shirt and a light long-sleeve shirt as a mid-layer are appropriate.

While the risk of slipping on the steep slopes of the Highland Zone is lower in summer compared to winter, areas with exposed rocks and soil can still be unstable. The afternoon drizzle may make surfaces slick, requiring careful foot placement. The risk of strong winds or thunderstorms is low, though winds will pick up slightly in the evening, with gusts potentially reaching nearly 9m/s overnight.

Overall, today will be a generally mild day, but be mindful of the brief afternoon drizzle and the increase in wind during the night. With an approximate 3°C temperature difference between the summit and base, regulate your body temperature by adjusting clothing layers frequently throughout your activity.
