However, we couldn&#8217;t find any such news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We contacted local correspondents in the Hatton area, who confirmed that recent instances of frost in the region had not been reported yet. They explicitly stated that the photos in question do not depict the current conditions of that area. Additionally, residents from the Hatton-Nuwara Eliya area corroborated that no such incident had occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the Department of Meteorology verified that the Nuwara Eliya area typically experiences frost during January and February. However, they reported no frost occurrences in the region during the present period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, we searched the viral photos using a reverse image feature to find past occurrences of the images. We discovered a Chinese post from February 2022 that used the same photo series. The post discussed a snowfall that occurred after several years on a tea plantation area in the village of Fuding in eastern China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture3-hatton.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture3-hatton.png 720w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture3-hatton-300x182.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/this-image-does-not-show-snow-falling-in-the-kandy-district\/\">There was NO snowfall in Kandy, as the viral image suggested!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow us and stay up to date with our latest fact checks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/factcrescendosl\/\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/factcrescendosl\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/factcrescendo_sl\/\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKMODMpgswyNe-Aw\"><strong>Google News<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@factcrescendosl\"><strong>TikTok<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion :<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Our investigation shows that the photos published on social media claiming to be scenes of snowfalls in the Hatton area of Sri Lanka are misleading.
