Good morning from Naeba! It's a damp start to the day here in the Mikuni valley, with an air temperature of 3°C and overcast skies. There is some light rain falling currently, which we can expect to become heavy rainfall this afternoon. The wind is nothing to note at the base, however there are some stronger gusts at the summit, resulting in the gondola running at a slow speed. Overnight tonight, the precipitation should turn to snow as the air temperature drops just below 0°C at the base. The pistes are slow and slushy today.

Looking forwards, temperatures will remain below 0°C tomorrow, meaning any fresh snow which does accumulate should stay in good condition. There will be snow showers throughout tomorrow. On Wednesday we can expect a drier day, with some sunshine with clouds. From Thursday through to the weekend we can expect persistent and sometimes heavy precipitation. This will fall most likely as rain at the base, but will hopefully be snow at higher elevations. Air temperatures at the base throughout this period will be around 5°C.
