It was snowing later on in the evening when I last looked outside and this morning there was about 5cm of snow on the top of the car.

We continue to have more rain than normal this autumn.

We have had more clear and sunny weather over the last few days in Yuzawa, and it has been getting hotter too. Up to 28 degrees in Yuzawa yesterday and it felt more humid as well. The more humid conditions are definitely just round the corner now.

We have enjoyed some fine weather conditions over the last week or so. Lots of sun and blue skies to enjoy and not too hot just yet. This morning the sun is out again and a comfortable high of around 23 degrees is forecast.

This last week we have experienced a real heat up in Yuzawa... for a few days there it looked like it might be hotting up to close on 30 degrees!

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far and more like the kind of temperatures we expect in early May. It was up to around 26 degrees in Yuzawa, at town level, and we are likely to see temps rising to about 25 today as well.

Yesterday was a fine morning at least as things did cloud over and by evening it was raining, and it's still raining this morning though will hopefully clear up. After the warmth of yesterday as well it's rather cold this morning and the forecast is telling us that it probably won't warm up over 8 degrees today.

It's a bit hazy in some directions down here in the Minamiuonuma valley this morning, but generally a lovely clear and sunny morning in the region. It's going to warm up to probably over 20 degrees as well.

A lovely morning here in Yuzawa as we see temperatures slowly rising - today temperatures will perhaps reach close to twenty degrees in town and a bit above that tomorrow.

Ah... we have nice clearer skies this morning and it should warm up to around 16 degrees in town today.... not usual Golden Week temperatures perhaps, but it should be a nice few days now to take us through to the end of the holiday period.

Rain on and off yesterday but it's still on this morning unfortunately with some wet roads around town. It is forecast to clear up this morning though leaving us with just a cloudy day and a forecast high temp of around 12 degrees - so a bit warmer than it has been the last few.

It was raining quite heavily last night and... it still is. A rather wet morning here in Yuzawa. But! It's still keeping cold and I see that Kagura have reported 2cm of fresh snowfall overnight.

We went all day without any serious rain yesterday which was good, it was always a thread according to the forecast. Same today for today and we have started the day with rain falling here in town.

Warm overnight too and now around 12C at 9am, but it won't warm up as much as yesterday. Just cloudy to start with today here, though rain is likely especially this morning. The forecast says stronger winds later on as well, but for now it's fairly calm in town and by the looks of things on the mountain too.
