Posted on Tuesday 30th April 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
So rain it is then this morning and it feels like it's set in for the morning at least. Temperatures didn't dip much under 10 degrees overnight after the warmth of yesterday, and still hovering around 10 degrees now as of 8:30am. So yes lots of cloud, not much to see, and a bit wet this morning.
Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow. At the moment, fine weather is forecast for that last chunk of Golden Week at the end of the week and over the weekend...
