Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 1047cm

Posted on Monday 24th March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


It is a rather dull and cloudy/overcast morning (a bit brighter earlier on).


Still a chance of some rain later on (tonight?) and even possibly a dusting of snow at higher elevations, according to some forecast.


That's not going to be prolonged though, with sun and warmth expected tomorrow.


Thursday looks like it will be the warmest yet, before temps dropping by Saturday and the chance of some snow again.


All over the place!
