午前中の好天活かせ。午後は雨と気温低下

Mount Kisokoma summit is mostly clear this morning with excellent visibility exceeding 20km. The current temperature is 9.1°C, feeling like 7.4°C, which is quite chilly. Daytime temperatures will only reach around 13°C, so warm clothing is essential.

Ground conditions are currently dry. However, the probability of precipitation sharply increases to 92% around noon, with light drizzle expected by 15:00 and light rain by 18:00. The trails will become wet, significantly increasing the risk of slipping, especially on the steep slopes from Senjojiki Cirque to Hatchozaka. The rocky ridges of Mt. Hoken also become extremely dangerous when wet, so traversing them in the afternoon should be avoided.

For layering, a quick-drying base layer, a thin fleece or synthetic mid-layer, and a waterproof and breathable outer shell are essential. Gloves and a hat should also be carried. The combination of decreasing temperatures and rain will elevate the risk of hypothermia in wet conditions during the afternoon. While strong winds are not expected, be mindful of the afternoon precipitation and temperature drop, planning for an early start and descent. Although no thunderstorms are specifically forecast, summer afternoon showers can sometimes bring lightning, so constant vigilance is necessary.
