Winds on Mt. Fuji continue to be moderate but the chance of rain at lower elevations is quite high throughout today. Higher elevations are less likely to experience rain but depending on the movement of wind and clouds, climbers today should have their rain gear at the ready.

Highs at the summit are expected to be between 4-6 degrees C without windchill. Winds should not be in excess of 10-20kph. All in all, climbers today and tomorrow should expect a little bit of everything.

General conditions are favorable for the development of thunder heads so climbers should be on the lookout for ominous looking clouds for a risk of lightning.

The sunrise could be a mixed bag depending on the specific conditions at summit. Here's to hoping for a good break in the clouds for a great sunrise!
