Posted on Friday 15th April 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
I think we avoided much rain during the day yesterday quite well, but it was raining quite a lot last night (foggy too).
It is still wet and damp this morning. Just some light spots of rain just now when I was outside. Kagura was reporting rain (and fog) at 8am.
The rain will probably linger for the whole day - maybe easing off at times - and tonight into tomorrow morning too. If we are lucky by lunchtime tomorrow it will have stopped.
Sunday is still due to be sunny and a little warmer once again.
