A study by Climate Central reveals that Fuji city in Japan has experienced an increase of 35 winter days above 0°C annually between 2014 and 2023, the highest among 901 analyzed northern hemisphere cities. This warming trend is attributed to human-induced climate change and has significant implications for water resources, disease vectors, and the overall ecosystem.
: A central Japan city at the foot of Mt. Fuji has lost over a month’s worth of winter days per year in the past decade due to global warming , Kyodo news agency reported a recent study by a US-based climate research organisation showed.
The findings come as Mt. Fuji received its first snowcap of the season on Nov 7 this year, the latest date since records began in 1894. As warmer winters could lead to water shortages due to reduced mountain snowpack, as well as increase the population of disease-carrying pests like mosquitoes and ticks, the organisation has stressed the importance of ending reliance on fossil fuels such as oil and coal as soon as possible.
The report, which compared observed December-February temperatures in the past 10 years with projected temperatures without human-induced climate change, found that around 44 percent of the 901 cities analysed lost an average of a week or more of winter days annually due to global warming.
