Monsoon Weather Update: Precaution Urged in Several Provinces

The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has reported that the monsoon winds are currently influencing weather patterns across the country. The monsoon low-pressure line is positioned towards the western part of its average location and slightly northward in the east.

As a result, the weather is partly to generally cloudy throughout the country. Light rain accompanied by thunder and lightning has been observed in several areas of Koshi, Madhes, Bagmati, Gandaki, and Lumbini provinces, with isolated incidents in other provinces.

For this afternoon, the department predicts generally cloudy skies nationwide, with light to moderate rain, thunder, and lightning expected in various parts of all provinces. Heavy rainfall is likely in a few areas of Koshi, Madhes, and Sudurpaschim provinces, and isolated spots elsewhere.

Tonight, similar weather conditions will persist, with the potential for light to moderate rain and thunder across the country. Heavy rainfall remains a risk in Koshi and Madhes provinces.

Over the next 24 hours, light to moderate rain with thunderstorms is expected in several regions. Due to the possibility of heavy rainfall, particularly in Koshi, Madhes, and Lumbini provinces, the department advises the public in these areas to take necessary precautions.
