Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest mountain, has been snowless for longer this year than any other in its 130-year record books. Snow typically begins forming on the iconic 12,388-foot (3,776 meters) peak in the first days of October, but has yet to accumulate this year — the first flakes are forecasted for this week. Japan had its hottest summer on record this year, and warmer than average conditions continued throughout September.
