曇天と弱い霧雨続く。濡れた登山道に注意

Tokachidake summit area is cloudy with a temperature of 11.3 degrees Celsius and a feel like 10.6 degrees Celsius as of 7 AM. There is a temperature difference of 7.9 degrees Celsius compared to the base. Light drizzle is forecast to continue intermittently throughout the day, with temperatures ranging from 11 to 12 degrees Celsius. Winds are extremely light, with gusts peaking around 5.9 meters per second, so strong winds above the tree line will have minimal impact on activities.

Hiking trails will be generally wet due to the light drizzle. Rocky sections and tree roots will be particularly slippery, requiring careful footing even on main routes like the Bōgakudai Course and Shintoku Course. Muddy sections may also develop. Crampons or microspikes are not necessary, but waterproof hiking boots are essential.

The feel like temperature will remain around 10 degrees Celsius throughout the day, making it easy for body heat to be lost during stops or when exposed to wind. Always carry moisture-wicking base layers, a thin fleece mid-layer, and waterproof-breathable rain gear (jacket and pants), wearing them as needed to prevent getting wet and cold. In areas with high volcanic gas concentrations, such as around the Shin-fukakō (New Crater), the extremely light winds mean gas stagnation is a concern.

Light drizzle will continue into the afternoon and evening, with
