Mount Naeba summit currently enjoys clear skies and light winds this morning, presenting ideal conditions for exploring the extensive wetlands on its summit plateau. There is a temperature difference of approximately 7°C between the summit and the base, ensuring a cool and comfortable ascent. For layering, a quick-drying base layer combined with an easily adjustable mid-layer like fleece is recommended to maintain comfort during your hike.

However, the weather is expected to deteriorate in the afternoon. Light drizzle is forecast to begin around 3 PM, intensifying to a steady drizzle by 6 PM. This change will likely reduce visibility, significantly increasing the risk of getting lost in dense fog on the summit plateau. The boardwalks across the wetlands will become wet and slippery; therefore, strictly keep to the boardwalks and exercise extreme caution with your footing. Carrying full waterproof and breathable rain gear is essential, and it should be worn promptly as conditions change.

While the risk of hypothermia is low, adequate protection against wetness and cold is crucial. There are no signs of thunderstorms, and the wind, though gusty, is not strong enough to impede movement significantly. Nevertheless, considering the potential for reduced visibility in the afternoon, an early start and timely descent are
