3月中旬的札幌 / In Sapporo in the middle of March

3月中旬的札幌一日當中的最高氣溫為3~5度。在晴天時會感到溫暖，在住宅區也會開始融雪。因為雪溶解的水導致道路的狀態並不是很好。甚至會形成大型的水坑。如同在厚砂地或砂礫上行走般不易於步行。也必須小心從道路飛濺來的積水。最低氣溫會達到零下2、3度左右。夜晚仍然是很寒冷。是冬天和夏天的服裝交替使用的季節。

In Sapporo in the middle of March, the highest temperature during the day is between 3 to 5 degrees. On a sunny day, people feel warm and the sunlight easily melts the snow in residential areas. Unfortunately, walking on the street is much harder compared to other seasons, as puddles appear, and the piled snow gets to be like sand or small pebbles, and one’s feet get easily stuck. Also, pedestrians need to be careful of the water splashed when cars pass by. The lowest temperature falls to minus 2 or 3 degrees, so it’s still cold at night. Local people use both winter and spring jackets due to these weather condition.
