赤岳稜線 午後から霧雨。岩場滑りやすく視界低下。

As of 8 AM, the summit of Mt. Akadake is mostly clear with a temperature of 7.4℃, feeling like 5.4℃. Visibility is excellent, exceeding 20km. The temperature difference from the base is a significant 8.9℃, requiring careful consideration of layering for varying altitudes. While daytime summit temperatures are expected to range from 8℃ to 10℃, light drizzle will begin around noon, with an 88% chance of precipitation by 3 PM. This will create wet rock conditions, increasing the risk of slips and falls.

The afternoon drizzle will make the rock faces on Bunzaburo-one and Jizo-one ridges, including their chains, slippery. Extreme caution is advised, especially during descents. Essential layering includes a moisture-wicking long-sleeve base layer, a thin fleece mid-layer, and a waterproof-breathable shell jacket and pants for the outer layer. Gloves and a hat should also be carried to prevent hypothermia during breaks or in windy conditions.

There are no signs of thunderstorms, but the combination of afternoon drizzle and gusts up to 7.3 m/s will further lower the perceived temperature. To mitigate the risk of hypothermia, ensure your gear keeps you dry and consider an early return. Currently, there is no snow cover, and the terrain consists of exposed rock, but it will become wet in the afternoon. While crampons or microspikes are not necessary, waterproof trekking shoes with good grip are essential.
