Visitors to Sapporo this week will experience a chilly but gradually warming trend, perfect for enjoying the last hints of winter transitioning into early spring. The week kicks off with clear skies on Monday, offering a crisp atmosphere ideal for layering up with a warm coat. As the days progress, expect a mix of partly to mostly cloudy skies, suggesting a lighter jacket or a sweater might be more fitting. By midweek, temperatures gently rise, yet evenings can still feel quite cold, hinting at the need for warm evening wear. Heading towards the weekend, prepare for more cloud cover with occasional showers or even a few flurries.
