🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Early September in Sapporo is a delightful transition period. Expect pleasant daytime highs of +22°C to +26°C , perfect for walking, though evenings can cool down to +13°C , requiring a light jacket or stylish layer. While the sun shines frequently, keep a compact umbrella handy for sudden typhoon-season showers. Pro-tip: The "Blue Hour" around 17:30 is your best friend for photography—be at the observation decks early!
