Posted at 9:05am on Friday 10th May 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far and more like the kind of temperatures we expect in early May. It was up to around 26 degrees in Yuzawa, at town level, and we are likely to see temps rising to about 25 today as well. It stayed fairly mild overnight, unlike the previous night when it was much colder, so there have been some big swings in the temperatures over the last few days.
Tomorrow the forecast is for cooler weather - and rain too. Clearer on Sunday.
The Mitsumata area of Kagura remains skiable for the weekend so no need for any kind of shuttle bus up there yet.
It will be a busy weekend at Kagura. If you plan to make your way up there, an early start is recommended!
