Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 856cm

Posted on Friday 16th March 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


Good afternoon from Yuzawa.


It was approaching 20 degrees in town yesterday which is pretty shocking, so I am happy to report a real drop in temperatures this morning.


Unfortunately, it has also been raining lightly at town level as temperatures level off at around 4-5C today. Some very light snow at Naeba best and some snow falling at higher elevations too but not the kind that is going to build up to anything significant.


Tomorrow should remain on the colder side of things but sunny skies are forecast with temperatures rising again on Sunday.
