春の富良野山頂 快晴広がる。午後の突風に注意

This morning at Furano Ski Resort's summit, conditions are partly cloudy, but clear skies and a significant temperature rise are expected throughout the day. Temperatures will climb to 12.2 degrees Celsius by 9 AM and 15.4 degrees Celsius by noon, bringing pleasant spring weather. With zero snow depth, the ground is predominantly dry. Crampons or microspikes are not required.

While Furano offers easy access directly to the summit via the ropeway, the summit area is exposed, and afternoon gusts require caution. Forecasts indicate that gusts could reach 16 to 17 meters per second at times throughout the day. Particularly in the exposed areas near the ridges of the Kitanomine Zone and Furano Zone, there is a risk of losing balance or having hats blown away. Remain vigilant to your surroundings and wind changes during your activity.

The automated risk assessment highlights a rapid temperature drop of 8 degrees Celsius within the forecast period. Although the daytime is warm, temperatures could feel near freezing from evening into night, increasing the risk of hypothermia. Wear a base layer, a light mid-layer, and a windproof outer shell as your primary attire, and always carry an additional insulating layer such as a fleece or light down jacket. Plan to conclude your activities before sunset. Ensure adequate hydration and sun protection.
