It is helpful for you to see Seasonal Clothing idea above. Sapporo is a big city and most people get around using public transit, bikes, or their feet. Always check the forecast before you leave for the day and pack an umbrella if rain is predicted. About how to choose shoes and tips about how to walk on snow-covered roads, ask colleagues in your workplace or gather information by visiting to local information website or at stores selling shoes with a non-skid sole or related equipment.
Tip about how to walk on snow-covered road is to walk slowly by pressing your whole feet on the ground with small step sizes. It can get quite hot in Sapporo so dress accordingly. Sapporo is a concrete jungle that displays the "heat island" effect common in big metropolitan areas. It can get quite freezing in Sapporo winter so dress accordingly such as a layered wearing.

Also, in the Tokachi area, the temperature is high in summer and cold in winter, however, it does not snow much. In Sapporo, the summers are comfortable, wet, and partly cloudy and the winters are freezing, snowy, windy, and mostly cloudy. The roads in Hokkaido during the winter are often frozen, so it will be safer to attach anti-skid bands or tape to your shoes.
The growing season in Sapporo typically lasts for 5. Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature.
Based on growing degree days alone, the first spring blooms in Sapporo should appear around May 15 , only rarely appearing before May 7 or after May This section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents.
Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation. The average daily incident shortwave solar energy experiences significant seasonal variation over the course of the year. The brighter period of the year lasts for 3. The brightest month of the year in Sapporo is June , with an average of 6.
The darker period of the year lasts for 3. The darkest month of the year in Sapporo is December , with an average of 1. For the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of Sapporo are The topography within 2 miles of Sapporo contains only modest variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of feet and an average elevation above sea level of 68 feet. Within 10 miles contains only modest variations in elevation 3, feet. Within 50 miles also contains extreme variations in elevation 6, feet.
This report illustrates the typical weather in Sapporo, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, to December 31, There is only a single weather station, Chitose Air Base , in our network suitable to be used as a proxy for the historical temperature and dew point records of Sapporo.
At a distance of 40 kilometers from Sapporo, closer than our threshold of kilometers, this station is deemed sufficiently nearby to be relied upon as our primary source for temperature and dew point records.
The station records are corrected for the elevation difference between the station and Sapporo according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.
Please note that the station records themselves may additionally have been back-filled using other nearby stations or the MERRA-2 reanalysis. All data relating to the Sun's position e. This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a kilometer grid.

Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site. We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series.
While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: 1 are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, 2 are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and 3 have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands. We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

In Hokkaido, the winter air is said to feel more 'painful' than 'cold,' so it is essential to carry around the three basics at all times: a set of gloves, a hat, and a scarf snood stoles are also OK. Hats are especially important when it snows. Many people try to get by using only the hood of their outerwear. However, hoods offer no protection for the ears, which are still susceptible to the piercing cold, especially on windy days.
If hat-hair is a concern, another option is wearing earmuffs under your hood. For footwear, you definitely want to opt for boots. Many people swear by Mouton boots, and boots with inner lining. However, there is one pitfall: if you look at the soles of the boot, you will notice that many of them are not slip-proof, therefore offer no protection for walking over ice and snow! Anti-slip soles that you can attach to your shoes are often available at convenience stores , or you can buy a pair of Hokkaido winter boots that are made for these conditions locally.
Though the snow in Hokkaido is often said to be smooth and powdery, it tends to leave behind a mess of puddles in its wake throughout the city thanks to road-heating and snow melting agents. To prevent water from seeping inside your shoes, be sure to waterproof them with waterproof spray before traveling.
Here is another tip unique to winter in Hokkaido, and especially Sapporo : the temperature difference between the indoors and outdoors. Buildings here have excellent thermal insulation, and on top of that are well-heated, so even on the coldest days, the indoors can get pretty warm.
