Over the next week, there will be many snowy days around Hokkaido, especially on the Sea of ​​Japan side. There is a risk of localized heavy snow or blowing snow, so be careful of traffic disruptions. Additionally, temperature fluctuations are likely to increase due to the alternating flow of warm and cold air into the sky. Please take good care of your health and be careful regarding freezing water.

Weather for the next week: Localized heavy snow possible

Tomorrow, the 10th, strong cold air will flow into the sky due to winter-like atmospheric pressure patterns. It will be sunny in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean, but there will be clouds in many places. It will snow more easily on the Sea of ​​Japan side, and the snow will be heavier mainly in the Kamikawa, Rumoi, and Sorachi regions. The amount of snow that will fall in one day tomorrow is expected to be 20 to 30 centimeters in many places. Along the coast, winds may be strong and blustery. In addition, even if the snow falls in central Sapporo, it will be weak and only require light shoveling, but in areas such as Kita Ward, it is likely that the snow will become heavier for a while.

On the 11th, the weather in Hokkaido is likely to be in a lull, with only a few snowfalls. There will be many places with sunny spells during the day.
After that, it is likely that there will be many snowy days, mainly on the Sea of ​​Japan side. Especially following Friday the 12th and Monday the 15th, there is a risk that strong cold air will flow into the sky, increasing the snow and wind, resulting in localized heavy snow and flakes. Please pay attention to the latest weather information and always check traffic conditions.

Temperature changes are likely to increase, so pay attention to your physical condition

Temperatures are likely to fluctuate significantly from here on out, as warm and cold air will alternate every few days in the upper atmosphere. Tomorrow, the 10th, will be bitterly cold in many places, with temperatures likely to remain at around -4℃ during the day. Temperatures will continue to drop due to the increasing cold air in the sky, so it will likely be colder in the evening than in the morning. When going out, please take thorough measures to protect yourself from the cold.
From the 12th to the 14th, the temperature will be around or above normal, and there will be some days when the temperature will be above average during the day. However, from around the 15th, the cold air in the upper atmosphere will become stronger once more, and the severe cold will return.

In addition to large daily changes in temperature, it is expected that there will be days when the temperature difference between morning and evening and daytime will be large, especially in inland areas. Check the daily weather information and choose clothing appropriate for the temperature. Also, on days when severe cold is expected, be careful not to freeze the water supply even during the day.
