強い霧雨と湿度。足元に注意し慎重な行動を

Kiroro Resort summit is currently experiencing strong drizzle with a temperature of 14.7℃ and 98% humidity. The base area also reports strong drizzle at 18.2℃, a 3.5℃ difference from the summit. Intermittent precipitation, ranging from showers to strong drizzle, is expected to continue until around 3 PM today. The ground is likely to be wet to muddy throughout the day, particularly in exposed dirt areas like the tree run sections, making footing very slippery.

While the felt temperature at the summit is noted as 15.6℃, getting wet from the rain will significantly lower the actual sensation. To mitigate the risk of hypothermia, a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating mid-layer, and full waterproof-breathable rain gear (jacket and pants) are essential. Maintain constant vigilance to keep dry and prevent your body from cooling down during activity.

Visibility is currently 2.7km but could further deteriorate due to the drizzle and fog. A specific risk in Kiroro, obstacles within the tree run areas, become harder to spot with poor visibility and wet ground, increasing the risk of falls and injuries. Even the gentle to moderate slopes of the Asari-dake northeast face might be slippery due to the rain. Avoid ambitious movements and constantly check your footing and surroundings.

The forecast indicates clearing skies from 6 PM, leading to clear conditions overnight. While daytime activities require careful preparation for rain and poor visibility, waiting for improved weather in the evening might be a prudent option. No significant alert values were detected by the automated risk assessment, but continuous monitoring of visibility and temperature changes is advised.
