- El Niño Signal: under review — this station's record has an era discontinuity.. This resort carries no separate rank: its 30-year record is identical to niseko-grand-hirafu, which is the ranked entry for this measurement. At ~31km resolution the reanalysis cannot resolve them as different mountains, so publishing both would be publishing one number twice.
