Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido

Posted on Tuesday 15th March 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Good morning to another fine spring like day in Furano.


Blue skies surround us with the odd cloud hanging around. Cloud may increase later in the day. The sun is out and the resort has been topped up with another light layer of new snow. This time 2cm. There is a very light breeze but nothing significant and it should stay around the same level for the day.


Tomorrow will be warmer and we can expect temperatures well into the positives on Friday. That warm weather on Friday is also going to bring a period of heavy rain in the evening. We are definitely entering spring.
