霧雨と視界不良の山頂 濡れによる低体温症に注意

The summit of Tomamu (1182m) is experiencing dense fog with visibility under 1km this morning, and light drizzle is expected to persist throughout the day. The daytime sensible temperature will hover around 9 degrees Celsius. Getting wet significantly increases the risk of hypothermia. Even around the accessible Unkai Terrace via gondola, visibility is poor, and exposure to wind and rain will make conditions feel colder.

Ground conditions will remain wet and muddy due to the continuous rain. Waterproof trekking shoes and a full set of rain gear (jacket and pants) are essential. During any activity, take frequent breaks and stay hydrated, ensuring your body does not get chilled. We do not recommend venturing into open areas like North Burn or Riverside today due to poor visibility and challenging ground conditions.

For layering, wear a moisture-wicking base layer, a fleece or similar insulating mid-layer that retains warmth even when damp, and a waterproof-breathable shell as an outer layer. Gloves and a hat are also advisable. Temperatures will drop to around 8 degrees Celsius after sunset, and humidity will remain high even if the fog lifts.
