鎖場濡れる霧雨の時間帯。足元に最大限の注意を

Ishizuchi-san summit is currently cloudy with a temperature of 12.5°C and a high humidity of 99%. Visibility is 4.9km. Winds are light at 0.86m/s, but there is a 3.9°C temperature difference from the base, so be aware of changing conditions. While there will be periods of light cloud cover during the day, the chance of precipitation increases around noon, with light drizzle expected from approximately 3 PM.

The afternoon drizzle will make the characteristic chains of Ishizuchi-san, particularly Ichi-no-Kusari, Ni-no-Kusari, and San-no-Kusari, wet and slippery. As a mountain known for its ascetic practices, falls on these chains are a frequent risk. The ground will be wet and exposed rock sections will be slick, so ensure careful three-point contact while climbing. If you lack confidence, making the decision to use the bypass routes is crucial.

While current temperatures and wind speeds do not pose a significant risk of hypothermia, getting wet from the afternoon drizzle can rapidly lower your body temperature. A quick-drying synthetic or merino wool base layer, a thin fleece mid-layer, and a waterproof-breathable rain jacket and pants are essential. Have water-resistant gloves ready and maintain hydration during your activity.

Light drizzle is forecast until around 6 PM, after which the weather is expected to clear, with clear skies overnight. However, temperatures will drop to around 9°C overnight, so ensure you have adequate cold weather gear if you plan any night activities.
