富良野山頂。午前は快適、午後から足元濡れる

The area around the Furano Ski Resort Ropeway summit at 893m is expected to transition from cloudy to clear skies this morning. From the current summit temperature of 14.7℃, it will rise to around 15℃ to nearly 19℃ during the day, offering comfortable conditions for activity. The temperature difference from the base is approximately 4℃. Winds are light, keeping the felt temperature pleasant.

However, light drizzle is forecast to begin around 15:00 in the afternoon, with precipitation continuing into the evening. This will cause the hiking trails directly accessible from the Ropeway summit and surrounding areas to become wet and muddy. Slippery sections are anticipated, requiring careful footing. Exercise caution during afternoon activities.

For layering, wear a quick-drying base layer with a thin fleece or softshell as a mid-layer. A waterproof and breathable rain gear set is essential as an outer layer. Getting wet from the afternoon drizzle particularly increases the risk of hypothermia as temperatures drop in the evening. There are no signs of strong winds, so the risk of ropeway closure is low, but an early start and finish to your activities are recommended. Crampons or chain spikes are not necessary, but waterproof hiking boots are essential gear.
