富良野山頂 霧雨に濡れる湿潤な足元

The Furano Ropeway summit area is currently cloudy with a temperature of 17.5°C, feeling like 18.7°C. Winds are light, and visibility is good. However, the weather is expected to shift from partly cloudy to light drizzle during the day. Precipitation probability will be high, ranging from 76% to 94% after 12:00, with intermittent light rain. The ground is wet, and some areas may be muddy. There is no remaining snow or ice, but exposed rocky sections could be slippery.

For today's activities, carrying full rain gear is essential. At the 893m summit area, a layering system of a quick-drying base layer and a waterproof-breathable shell is recommended. As indicated by the automated risk assessment, a sharp temperature drop of 7°C is expected during the forecast period. Be prepared for sudden changes by carrying an extra insulating layer, such as a thin fleece. While the Furano Zone summit, directly accessible by ropeway, is easy to reach, the combination of evening drizzle and falling temperatures increases the risk of hypothermia if clothing becomes wet.

The risk of lightning and strong winds is low, but continuous exposure to drizzle can quickly lead to body heat loss. Especially in the evening, temperatures will drop to 13.1°C by early morning on the 25th. Make early decisions to turn back if conditions worsen, and avoid pushing limits. Crampons or microspikes are not necessary, but sturdy, waterproof hiking boots are recommended for foot protection.
