Mumbai, December 11: Will Mumbai witness snowfall between December 21 and 30? Is the viral image of the Gateway of India covered in snow real or fake? If you're looking for the answers to the questions, then you have come to the right place. A social media post is allegedly claiming that Mumbai will experience snowfall in the coming days. The viral image shows Mumbai's Gateway of India covered in a white blanket, warning people about the snowfall forecast for the maximum city.

The rumour began after a picture inspired by a promotional post for Hamleys Wonderland at Jio World Garden in BKC went viral on social media.

Reacting to the X post, one user wrote, "If this really happens, it will be like ice age for Mumbaikars," while a second user said, "Yes it can but the year can't be predicted".

A fact check of the post revealed that the viral image showing the Gateway of India covered in snow is not real, but an AI-generated picture. It is worth noting that Mumbai's tropical climate makes natural snowfall impossible in the capital of Maharashtra. Additionally, no official forecasts from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) or other weather agencies predict snowfall in Mumbai between December 21-30. As per the weather forecast for Mumbai, the temperature in the city is expected to be around 20 to 32 degrees Celsius, which is far too warm for snowfall.

IMD Has Not Predicted Any Snowfall in Mumbai

The alleged claim that Mumbai will experience snowfall started after a promotional post for Hamleys Wonderland at Jio World Garden in BKC was mistaken for the actual weather forecast for the city. The original promotional post shared by an Instagram page called "MumbaiCity Explore" shows them promoting and marketing Hamleys Wonderland at the Jio World Garden as a snowfall experience event in Mumbai. "Snowfalls in Mumbai? Yes, it’s real! 100% guaranteed snow experience at Hamleys Wonderland, Jio World Garden," the post on Instagram read. Did a Mountain Goat Trigger the Collapse of Dhaba at Hill Station in North India?

Hamleys Wonderland Promotes Its Event Without Any Reference to Snowfall Experience

The post confirms that the snowfall, which will be experienced in Mumbai, will be during the Hamleys Wonderland event at the Jio World Garden in BKC and not in Mumbai as it is claimed. The event will be held from Sunday, December 21, to Tuesday, December 30, and tickets for the same are available on District Updates' official website www.district.in. Hence, the alleged claim that Mumbai will experience snowfall from December 21-30 is not true.  The promotional post for Hamleys Wonderland at the Jio World Garden in BKC has been mistaken for the actual weather forecast for Mumbai. A similar post by Hamleys Wonderland did not indicate any snowfall or promote the event as a snowfall experience in Mumbai.
