🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Early September in Sapporo offers a pleasant transition from summer to autumn, with daytime highs around +23°C (73°F). However, the evening air turns crisp (+12°C), especially at elevated spots like Mt. Moiwa. Clothing Tip: Wear light layers during the day, but carry a windbreaker or light jacket for the sunset views. Keep a compact umbrella handy, as September is prone to sudden, heavy showers.
