Factseeker observed that photos are being shared on social media that there is heavy snowfall in Hatton, Sri Lanka. The photos are being shared on Facebook, X website, and WhatsApp, and many have raised questions on social media platforms, about whether the photos being shared were taken at Hatton. Further, Some journalists also requested Fact Seeker to find out the truth or falsity of this.
Factseeker investigated this and discovered that the Hatton region of Sri Lanka is not experiencing snowfall. Particularly after examining the shared photographs using Google’s reverse image search, it was discovered that these were uploaded in India. Certain regions of the Indian state of Uttarakhand have been reported to have this kind of climate.
Comparably, this image, which was shared for a picture of a Chinese man in the middle of Hatton’s snow, was not taken in Sri Lanka. This photo was taken in Kyoto, Indonesia in 2020.

Therefore, Fact Seeker confirms that the photos being shared as snowfall in the Hatton area of Sri Lanka are false.
