Japan: Snow has eventually fallen on Mount Fuji, photos showed Wednesday ( Nov 6), after warm conditions led to the Japanese castle’s longest-ever stay with exposed slopes.
The popular snowcap of the volcano typically forms on October 2, and last year winter was first detected by government scientists on October 5.
Japan’s wind company, which annually compares conditions from Kofu City to the same location, has not yet set a new record for the slowest stop to the snowcap, as a result of cloud support at its tracking place.
However, this time now marks the most recent snowfall since the first two records, seen on October 26, 1955 and 2016, were broken by this year’s report, which was seen twice, in 1955 and 2016.
Images taken from locations around Japan’s highest hills, where the stars were clearer early on Wednesday, revealed a dusting of snow on its top.
” These are images of Mount Fuji, seen from the town hall this day. A blog on Fuji City, in the northern Shizuoka region of Japan, claimed that there might be a thin layer of snow include close to the summit.
Many residents of the area even shared their own photos of the country’s highest mountain in winter, and aerial images from NHK’s regional broadcaster showed up close-ups of white flour on the steep slopes.
” Ultimately, the first winter cover! Mount Fuji looks great with snow”, said a blog from a medical home, even in Fuji City.
