夏曇りの緩斜面。山頂の気温差に備えよ

Current conditions at Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort summit (1086m) are cloudy with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius. The base area (625m) reports 19 degrees Celsius, indicating a 3-degree difference. While the summit is expected to reach around 20 degrees Celsius during the day, the significant temperature difference between the summit and base is a characteristic risk of Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort. Be especially mindful of changing body temperatures when navigating long run courses that span considerable elevation.

Ground conditions are primarily dry due to minimal precipitation. However, a forecast for light drizzle around noon may temporarily make surfaces wet, though not muddy. There is no concern for lingering snow or ice. The current perceived temperature at the summit is 16.7 degrees Celsius. While daytime temperatures will hover around 20 degrees Celsius, it may feel cooler with wind. Recommended layering includes a moisture-wicking base layer T-shirt, a thin fleece or long-sleeved shirt as a mid-layer, and a lightweight windproof and waterproof rainwear as an outer layer for carrying.

Risks of lightning or strong winds limiting activity are low. Gusts are forecast to be a maximum of 6.8 m/s during the day, and the risk of hypothermia is also low. However, temperatures will gradually drop to around 15 degrees Celsius in the evening, so caution is advised if you get wet. Activities are suitable today.
