Japan's Mount Fuji snowless for longest time on record
Japan's Mount Fuji remained snowless as of Oct. 31, 2024 -- the latest date that its majestic slopes have been bare since records began 130 years ago, the weather agency has said. The volcano's snowcap begins forming on October 2 on average, and last year snow was first detected there on October 5. But because of warm weather, this year no snowfall has yet been observed on Japan's highest mountain.

00:00I've been to Japan a few times before in my childhood
00:29and we always came in October, November time
00:32and as you mentioned, it was always, at this time of year, it was always covered by snow
00:36so yeah, it's quite shocking to see at this time of year, there's no snow
00:39and also it's very visual, the impact that the warming has had
00:43seeing like this
00:45Yeah, I mean I've been here before while there was snow
00:47and it was like, it was beautiful, it was immaculate
00:49it was obviously like, such an amazing experience
00:52given like the weather and just like the overall vibe of it
00:55but now it's like, I mean I'm rocking up in t-shirt and shorts
00:59it kind of doesn't feel the same
01:02I'm kind of regretting wearing long pants
01:05Yeah, so it's definitely not the same, it's a bit disappointing
01:07but yeah, it's still beautiful but it's not anywhere as magical as it used to be
01:11Yeah, I think that across the globe it's kind of affecting everybody
01:15I mean, we're from Australia and what you're seeing is it's getting hotter in the summer months
01:20and it's getting colder earlier
