Snowfall at base this season 1303cm
Posted on Monday 18th May 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Not quite as hot over the weekend though on Saturday it kind of felt a bit humid - first time I have felt that this year. Lots of rain to start Saturday off as well.
Generally nice and sunny weather yesterday with a bit of wind blowing around.
The sun is out again this morning and it should warm up once again this morning but cloud over later in the day with some rain forecast later tonight. Feels like it might be a bit windy again today, certainly from how it feels down here in town just now.
Hopefully the rain expected tonight will have cleared up by first lifts tomorrow morning - after that mostly fine and settled weather conditions are forecast for the week.
