午後は霧雨に注意。ハイランドで視界不良も

Currently, Sapporo Teine summit is partly cloudy with a temperature of 15℃, while the base is 17.8℃, indicating mild conditions. The morning will see continued partial cloudiness, but light drizzle is expected to begin around noon, transitioning to steady drizzle by 3 PM. Although precipitation will be light, the ground will shift from dry to wet, and potentially muddy in the afternoon. Particular caution is advised on the steep slopes of the Highland Zone, as the footing will become slippery.

The afternoon drizzle, combined with the significant temperature drop forecasted for the evening, increases the risk of hypothermia if clothing becomes wet. Essential gear for today's activity includes a quick-drying base layer, a thin mid-layer, and waterproof-breathable rainwear. As indicated by the automated risk assessment, a 7℃ temperature decrease is expected during the forecast period. Therefore, carrying an extra insulating layer from the outset is crucial.

After 6 PM, the drizzle will weaken, and the night will transition from partly cloudy to cloudy. Temperatures are expected to drop to around 10℃ at the summit by midnight. Considering the potential for getting wet in the afternoon drizzle, it is advisable to make an early decision to turn back. Today's hiking or walking should primarily focus on morning activities, with thorough preparation and timely decisions being paramount for the afternoon's deteriorating weather and falling temperatures.
