快晴微風の天空湿原遠望利く一日

Tomuraushi Mountain currently experiences clear skies, with a summit temperature of 12.8 degrees Celsius and light winds at 1.21 meters per second. Clear weather is expected to continue throughout the day, with temperatures reaching 15.4 degrees Celsius around noon and gusts of up to 7.3 meters per second. Due to the light winds, the felt temperature will be close to the actual air temperature, making a base layer and a thin fleece comfortable for activity. For breaks and cooler mornings or evenings, carry an additional outer layer such as a windproof jacket or a light down jacket.

The ground is dry due to no precipitation and continuous clear skies. Footing is stable across areas like the Kitama and Minamunuma alpine wetlands and the Rock Garden. Crampons or chain spikes are not necessary. Visibility is excellent today, exceeding 20 kilometers, offering a rare day for distant views.

The automated risk assessment indicates a rapid temperature drop of 6 degrees Celsius during the forecast period. While this poses no issue during daytime activities, temperatures will fall to 11.8 degrees Celsius by 6 PM and 8.8 degrees Celsius by 9 PM. Tomuraushi is a long course, making day trips challenging, and the risk of hypothermia increases with extended travel. Prioritize an early start and timely decision-making to turn back, specifically avoiding overnight stays. The risk of lightning and strong winds is assessed as low today.
