I know that I can check the temperatures and the weather online, which I have done:
http://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Fuji-san/forecasts/3776
http://www.accuweather.com/en/jp/national/weather-radar
Although the typhoon is way up in Tohoku now, the weather for Mount Fuji tomorrow is still reading that there will be clouds, rain and a risk of thunderstorms.
Has anyone hiked Mount Fuji around this time (I'm going tomorrow)?
I packed a lot of heavy winter clothes (jacket, sweater, long johns, beanie, gloves, etc.) but my backpack is getting pretty heavy. I would like to lighten the load, but at the same time not freeze to death at the summit. Would I most likely be alright with long johns, a thin but decently warm waterproof jacket and a long sleeve t-shirt and jeans?
I have been reading online that it can be really cold at the summit and you need to wear a lot of layers. I have read read that the thunder is insanely loud from on the mountain as well...should be quite an interesting experience lol.
