Good morning from Yuzawa.
Cloudy skies start our Golden Week holiday period with a real chance of rain, probably starting early afternoon. It might be heavy rain later on and it might be a bit windy.
Kagura reporting a temperature of +6C as of 7am this morning and it is currently just above 11C in town.
Tomorrow should be friendlier weather with some sunshine due again.
Golden Week usually features very warm and settled sunny weather, but it looks like we are going to have to wait until Tuesday for that.
