霧雨の湿原、視界不良と低温に警戒

Naeba mountain summit today experiences light rain transitioning to drizzle. Temperatures hover around 5 degrees Celsius, with a constant feels-like temperature of approximately 3 degrees Celsius. The significant temperature difference from the base will make the summit feel considerably colder. Although current visibility is 7.5 kilometers, continuous drizzle forecasts suggest a high risk of getting lost in dense fog on the expansive summit plateau. Losing a sense of direction is particularly easy in the vast wetlands. The wooden paths within the wetlands, dotted with ponds, will be very slippery due to rain, making stepping off them strictly prohibited. Exercise extreme caution when walking.

Waterproof and breathable rain gear (jacket and pants) is essential. A quick-drying base layer and a warm fleece for the mid-layer are recommended. Gloves and a hat are also necessary to maintain body heat. The feels-like temperature poses a very high risk of hypothermia today. Although no significant alerts were detected by the automated risk assessment, remember that the risks of low temperatures, rain, and poor visibility are always present.

Drizzle will persist throughout the day, but the weather is expected to improve towards evening, with precipitation ceasing. However, temperatures will drop further, reaching around 4 degrees Celsius at night. If your activity extends into the evening, be well-prepared for the nighttime cold. Always pay attention to changes in your physical condition and avoid any overexertion.
