Mount Fuji, Japan's iconic landmark, has broken a 130-year record by remaining snow-free as of October 29, 2024, marking the latest date for the absence of snowfall on its summit. This year’s lack of snow surpasses the previous record of October 26, set in 1955 and 2016, raising concerns among climate scientists about the impacts of global warming. Typically, the first snowfall occurs by early October, signaling the arrival of winter after the summer climbing season, which ended on September 10. Unseasonably high temperatures and rainfall have contributed to the delayed snowcap, according to meteorological officials.
