Hokkaido cools as Sapporo leads on 2026-11-12
Sapporo has the higher daytime temperature in Hokkaido, reaching 11°C under cloudy skies. Kushiro is cooler at 8°C, despite sunny conditions, leaving a 3°C spread between the two cities. The contrast puts the warmer daytime conditions in Sapporo, but neither city offers much scope to dispense with warmer clothing. Hokkaido's low of -1°C makes the difference between daytime and overnight conditions particularly relevant when deciding what to wear.
The seven-day trend is downward, easing by about 2°C rather than holding at the current level. Highs over the period reach a peak of 13°C and fall as low as 6°C, keeping the outlook cool even at its warmer end. A warm outer layer is a practical choice, with clothing that can be adjusted between the afternoon and evening. Anyone leaving home early and returning after dark should dress for the lower temperatures as well as the daytime high.
