Posted on Friday 24th April 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Morning from Yuzawa and it's going to be another fine day here. It felt really warm in the afternoon in particular yesterday with beautiful blue skies and feel-good sunshine. Real t-shirt weather.
Warm overnight too keeping in double digits.
And more of the same looks likely for today.
Sun is forecast over the weekend as well, perhaps not quite as warm tomorrow, but you won't need the thermals!
