苗場山頂湿原は快晴。池塘巡り好適

Current conditions at Naeba Summit are mostly clear with excellent visibility exceeding 20km. The summit temperature is 14.2°C, feeling like 13.6°C. There is approximately a 7°C difference from the base, making the summit feel cool. The daytime forecast indicates a high of 16.6°C with winds around 2.1m/s and gusts up to 9.5m/s, resulting in a perceived temperature of approximately 14°C.

Precipitation probability is low today, suggesting dry ground conditions. However, the wooden boardwalks in Naeba's extensive highland wetlands, especially around the ponds (ike-tō), can be slippery due to morning dew or dampness. Exercise caution with your footing and strictly avoid stepping off the boardwalks. While dense fog on the broad plateau is unlikely today given the clear visibility, always remain aware of the vast terrain and continuously verify your route.

Appropriate layering includes a wicking base layer, a light fleece or synthetic mid-layer, and a windproof shell jacket as an outer layer. Carry these to prevent heat loss during breaks or windy periods. Although the risk of thunderstorms is low, rain gear is essential for wind protection. Risks of strong winds and hypothermia are assessed as low. Plan to complete your activities during daylight hours, preparing for cooler temperatures in the late afternoon and evening.
