午後から稜線に強風。早めの行動を

Mount Daisen summit is under light cloud with a temperature of 8.6℃, feeling like 6.7℃. While morning conditions allow for relatively calm ascent, winds are forecast to rapidly strengthen in the afternoon. Gusts are expected to reach 19.4 m/s by noon and 22.1 m/s by 3 PM. These strong winds from the Sea of Japan will significantly drain energy and pose a risk of losing balance, especially near Misen Peak and along the exposed sections of the Natsuyama Climbing Trail.

Ground conditions are generally dry, with no precipitation and zero snow accumulation. However, high humidity suggests that shaded areas and stream valleys may have wet or muddy sections. Crampons or microspikes are not required, but caution is advised on potentially slippery ground.

Given the strong winds expected this afternoon, the risk of hypothermia is considerable. Even at 10℃, wind gusts of 20 m/s can make the effective temperature feel close to 0℃. A base layer, a mid-layer such as fleece, and a windproof hard-shell jacket are essential. It is strongly recommended to start early and descend by noon. Avoid prolonged activity near Misen Peak in the afternoon.
