Despite approaching the end of October, no snowfall has yet been seen on Mount Fuji in Japan. This situation was evaluated as a record delay by the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Although it is approaching the end of October this year, Mount Fuji, one of the symbols of Japan, has not yet seen snowfall.
Japan Meteorological Agency officials emphasized that this long delay of the first snowfall is record-breaking.
The lack of snow on the peak of the mountain, where snowfall is normally seen in mid-September, has caused climate change discussions, especially in Japan.
Scientists stated that the mountain may be more affected by climate change in the future, and warned that this situation could have serious consequences on tourism, the ecosystem and water resources in the region.
