Sporadic Rainfall Likely Across Nepal Today

Cloudy weather has settled over much of Nepal today, including the Kathmandu Valley, as a result of partial influence from westerly winds and a westerly low-pressure system moving through the region.

According to the Meteorological Forecasting Division of the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, moderate rainfall is expected in several areas during the afternoon.

Meteorologist Sanjeev Adhikari shared that the weather will be partly to generally cloudy across Sudurpaschim, Karnali, Lumbini, Gandaki, and Bagmati provinces. The cloudy conditions, which began in western Nepal yesterday evening, have spread to most parts of the country by today.

Rainfall is already occurring in some areas of Sudurpaschim and Karnali provinces, with light snowfall observed in parts of the high hilly and mountainous regions.

For the next 24 hours, light to moderate rainfall is expected in many areas of Sudurpaschim, Karnali, and Koshi provinces. Light rain is also likely in other regions, while light to moderate snowfall could affect parts of Sudurpaschim, Karnali, and Koshi provinces, and a few areas in Gandaki and Bagmati provinces.

In addition, there is a possibility of foggy weather in some Terai regions and the Kathmandu Valley in the morning.

The Division has urged the public to take necessary precautions in light of these changing weather conditions.
