Mount Fuji Breaks Snowless Record Before First Snowfall

Mount Fuji in Japan has regained its snowcap after a record-breaking delay, marking the latest snowfall since records began in 1894. The delay is attributed to unusually high temperatures, likely exacerbated by climate change, which made October's heat three times more likely. This phenomenon reflects a broader trend of diminishing snowpacks globally due to rising temperatures, affecting other iconic peaks like Mount Kilimanjaro and the Andes. The situation highlights the ongoing impact of global warming on natural landmarks.
