Mount Fuji
- Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji has yet to receive its first snowfall of the season. This is unprecedented, marking the latest date without snow since records began in 1894.

- This prolonged warmth has continued into September, preventing the cold air needed for snowfall. Experts suggest that climate change may be influencing these unusual weather patterns.
- The rising global temperatures contribute to the warmer conditions experienced in Japan. Such changes can disrupt traditional seasonal weather, including snowfall.
