1月中旬的札幌, In Sapporo at the middle of January

1月中旬的札幌，一天當中的最低氣溫為零下5度到零下10度。最高氣溫為零下5度到0度。如果從北方襲來冷氣團時，最高氣溫會是零下7到8度，最低氣溫會達到零下12度到13度。然而，如果從南方飄來暖空氣時，最高氣溫也會到正2度到正3度。因為目前是札幌雪祭的準備期間，高於零下的氣溫會影響到製作雪像。

In the middle of January in Sapporo, the lowest temperature during the day is typically minus 5 to 10 degrees, with the highest temperature reaching minus 5 to 0 degrees. If a cold air mass comes from the north, the highest temperature may fall to minus 7 or 8 degrees. When a warm mass air comes, the highest temperature rises to plus 2 or 3 degrees. January is the important month for making snow and ice sculptures for the Sapporo Snow Festival, so temperatures above freezing level cause problems as the sculptures made of snow or ice begin to melt.
