Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 734cm

Posted on Wednesday 26th February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Hakuba.


A mild day yesterday, warming up to about 4.5C in the village.


Variable weather going on at the moment and not as warm this morning.


It's sunny down here at my base and I can see blue skies, but it is also snowing every so slightly. And we did actually get a thin layer of snow in places earlier on, nearly 2cm on my car, but it has cleared up in the last hour or so.


It looks like it is still snowing at higher elevations, though visibility looks ok.


While we may get some snow today, we are due to be back to clearer skies from tomorrow and a mild period that will run through until perhaps Sunday.


Back to proper snow on Monday, perhaps?
