The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has forecasted active monsoon conditions across the country, with chances of heavy rain in some areas of Koshi, Bagmati, Lumbini, and Sudurpaschim provinces.
Monsoon winds have become active throughout Nepal, according to the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology. The monsoon’s low-pressure trough currently lies near the average position in the east and slightly north of the average in the west.
For today, the weather is expected to remain partly to generally cloudy in most parts of the country. Especially in Koshi, Bagmati, Lumbini, and Sudurpaschim provinces, there is a possibility of light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning. One or two places in these provinces may experience heavy rainfall as well.
In the high hilly and Himalayan regions, there is also a chance of snowfall along with rain. Cloudy conditions will persist into the night across the country, and some hilly regions may continue to witness thunder and moderate rainfall.
Due to the anticipated rainfall, the department has warned of increased risks of flooding, landslides, debris flow, and waterlogging. Urban and Tarai regions are particularly at high risk of inundation, prompting a call for public caution.
The water level in rivers and streams may rise, potentially affecting roads and air transport. The department has also advised relevant authorities to remain on alert, as daily life, agriculture, health, and tourism sectors could face disruptions.
