春の雨と風。富良野ゾーンは午後の強風に注意

Morning conditions are cloudy but mild, with a perceived temperature of 2.3 degrees Celsius at the summit. Although the daytime high is expected to reach 12.7 degrees, strengthening winds will keep the perceived temperature between 3 and 6 degrees Celsius. If the sun breaks through, it will be relatively comfortable.

With zero snow depth, the ground is currently dry to moist. Hiking trails and unpaved paths are easily passable, but rising afternoon temperatures and evening rain will gradually make conditions wet, potentially leading to muddy sections. Crampons or microspikes are not necessary.

Winds are expected to strengthen throughout the afternoon, with gusts reaching 17m/s by 3 PM. Exposed areas directly connected to the Furano Ropeway summit and ridges in the Furano Zone will be directly impacted by strong southerly winds. Be extremely cautious of the wind chill effect and potential impediment to movement. Light rain is forecast to begin around 6 PM and continue throughout the night. The risk of hypothermia increases significantly when wet, so a waterproof and breathable shell, both jacket and pants, is absolutely essential. Carry insulating layers such as fleece to adjust your body temperature. It is advisable to complete any outdoor activities in the early morning hours and descend before the strong winds and rain intensify in the afternoon.
