August 10 weather

8/10/2018

With Typhoon #13 out of the way, we're back to business as usual on Mt. Fuji. Current conditions are relatively calm with light winds and moderate temperatures. The weather is a little bit of everything right now alternating between clear blue skies, clouds and some rain expected.

Calm conditions like this tend to promote thunder clouds on Mt. Fuji so climbers should keep an eye out for any thunderheads which may develop, and take shelter in a hut if there is any activity.
