Mount Fuji Welcomes First Snow After Record Delay
Mount Fuji has finally seen its first snowfall of the season, occurring about a month later than usual, marking the longest delay in recorded history. Locals celebrated the snow’s return, sharing photos and expressing excitement on social media, with one user stating, ‘I’ve never been so excited for the first snowfall this year.’ The Japan Meteorological Agency confirmed the snowfall on November 6 after observing clouds had initially obstructed the view. This delayed snowfall follows a summer of record-high temperatures in Japan, contributing to concerns about climate change’s impact on seasonal weather patterns.
