九重連山 霧から回復 穏やかな登山日和

Kuju mountain range, this morning at 7:30 AM, the summit is cloudy with a temperature of 17.3°C, feeling like 17.1°C. Humidity is 99%, and visibility is less than 1km, indicating dense fog. Winds are 5.1m/s with gusts up to 11.6m/s, not entirely calm. The temperature difference from the base is 4.7°C. On exposed routes like the Makinoto Pass course, there is a high risk of getting lost in the fog. Regularly check your GPS and map, proceeding with caution.

Conditions are expected to gradually improve throughout the day, becoming mostly clear by noon. Temperatures will rise to 21.4°C by 3 PM, and winds will decrease to 3.64m/s. The ground will be damp from the morning fog in many areas, but with no precipitation, it should dry out by the afternoon. Muddy conditions will be localized.

For layering, in addition to a base layer, bring a light fleece or similar mid-layer, and a waterproof-breathable rainwear as an outer layer. Frequent adjustment of layers will be necessary to manage body temperature as the day warms up.

While the risk of hypothermia is low, prolonged exposure in foggy, damp conditions can lead to heat loss. Although the risk of lightning is low, be mindful of the increasing chance of precipitation in the afternoon. Even after visibility improves, preparedness for sudden weather changes remains crucial.
