Hakuba Snow Forecast

Based on mid-mountain weather across 10 ski areas · Updated 2026-08-23 01:40:14

The weather forecast for the Hakuba valley shows a predominantly warm and wet pattern over the next week. Starting today, temperatures will peak around 27°C and gradually rise to about 29°C by August 25. By August 27, a significant drop in temperature to around 24°C is expected, coinciding with heavy rainfall of approximately 72mm.

From August 23 to August 26, light showers and drizzle are anticipated, with rain totals remaining low until the 27th. This day will witness intense precipitation across the valley, affecting all resorts uniformly, with the potential for localized thunderstorms earlier in the week. Post-rain, temperatures will stabilize around 26°C on August 28 before dropping further to 20°C by August 29.

Freezing levels will gradually lower, from over 5,200 meters earlier in the week to around 4,860 meters on August 27, indicating a shift towards cooler atmospheric conditions. Wind speeds are expected to remain relatively calm, averaging between 6 km/h and 12 km/h throughout the forecast period, with no significant deviations between the resorts.

Rainfall will be particularly heavy on August 27, which may lead to saturated ground conditions valley-wide. The alignment in temperature, precipitation, and wind suggests a consistent weather pattern across the resorts, with milder temperatures preceding the heavy rainfall and a subsequent cool-down as the week progresses.
