山頂は強い南風。新緑の山肌を歩く

Current conditions at Sapporo Teine summit show partly cloudy skies with a temperature of 8.4°C, feeling like 3.6°C due to a 5.71m/s wind and gusts up to 18m/s. There is no snow cover, and the ground is mostly dry with no precipitation, indicating a low risk of mud. The mountain is in a spring condition with exposed rock ridges.

For daytime activities, a base layer paired with a windproof outer shell is essential. When taking breaks or traversing exposed areas in the Highland Zone, carrying a light fleece as a mid-layer is crucial to prevent hypothermia. While rain gear should be carried as a precaution, crampons or microspikes are not necessary.

Winds are forecast to strengthen significantly from evening into night. Gusts are expected to reach 23.7m/s by 18:00 and 25.7m/s by 21:00. These strong gusts pose a heightened risk of losing balance and falling, particularly in the exposed areas of the Highland Zone. Even when enjoying the views of Sapporo and Ishikari Bay, robust wind protection is paramount. It is strongly advised to avoid activity during these hours. Note the temperature difference of approximately 2.8°C between the summit and base, making the summit feel colder.
