Hokkaido is a snow week Fear of heavy snow and fluff
In Hokkaido, it will continue to snow easily on the Sea of Japan side for the next week. Especially in the middle of the week, there is a risk of snowfall and strong winds, so be careful with heavy snowfall and cleanings.
There is a fear that heavy snow will be concentrated in similar places
Over the next week, winter-type pressure distribution will continue around Hokkaido, and there will be snow on the Sea of Japan side. Especially around Wednesday the 16th, the snowfall is expected to intensify due to the influx of cold air that can only occasionally enter the sky even in the middle of winter.
During the winter-type pressure distribution, snow clouds are produced mainly in the Sea of Japan, which are carried to the land of Hokkaido by the wind. From tonight until Tuesday 15, the direction of the wind that sends the snow clouds does not change much, so there is a risk that heavy snow will concentrate and flow towards similar places. Locally, snow of up to about 40cm is expected in a day, and sufficient attention needs to be paid to traffic obstacles due to heavy snowfall, local aerosols and blisters.
Around the 16th, the snow will temporarily increase even in Sapporo
From the night of the 15th to the 16th, the wind direction changes slightly from the north. As a result, there is a risk that snow will intensify even in central Sapporo, where active snow clouds were difficult to get in due to the mountains on the west side.
So far it has hardly snowed in Sapporo but by midweek it will be solid and will take longer to move than before. Act early and watch out for slip accidents.
After the 17th, the peak will pass but the snow will continue.
On Thursday the 17th the peak of cold air has passed in the sky and the snowfall is likely to be weaker than before. However, it is expected that it will continue to snow on the Sea of Japan side and the weather will not recover. Also, since it will be a midwinter day even in the second half of the week, it will still be difficult to reduce the amount of snow. Since the impact on traffic can be prolonged, it is necessary to continue paying attention to the latest weather information.
