Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 617cm
Posted on Friday 22nd April 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It feels like the weather is changing really quickly early this morning. As I write this there is lots of cloud about but also a fair amount of blue sky and the sun shining through at times. And there has been early morning spots of rain in places too (but it looks dry in others). Complicated!
We should get sun during the day with a high temp of about 20C in the village this afternoon.
Cloud to sun lined up for tomorrow and not quite as warm as today.
About two weeks left to go!
