The first dustings of winter snow have arrived on Australian mountaintops, but forecasts indicate a slow start to the ski season due to above-average temperatures. While Professor David Karoly from the University of Melbourne suggests that increased rainfall could lead to more snow overall, early season conditions are described as “unfavourable.” Climate change is impacting snow seasons, potentially shortening them by 44 days by 2025, and affecting ecosystems, highlighting the urgent need for reduced greenhouse gas emissions to protect Australia’s snowy landscapes.
