august 12 weather

8/12/2018

Calm conditions persist on Fuji with some conflicting reports about what the future of weather will be on the mountain. We've got reports calling for plenty of rain but also another report not calling for rain at all. So it appears to be a mixed bag and no one quite knows what you'll be in for on a Fuji climb in the next 2 days.

That aside, you can at least count on low winds of about 10-20kph on the summit and moderate temperatures of 4-8 degrees C.

Climbers in these conditions should be prepared for rain with proper rain gear and hiking boots.

This time of year is especially crowded on Mt. Fuji so climbers should be prepared for lots of crowds on the summit!
