Kathmandu. The previously active rainfall system that began last Friday has weakened as of today. Meteorologists forecast notable weather improvement and sunshine from today onward.
Due to the influence of a western low-pressure system, the rainfall system that started in the Far-Western region has gradually moved eastward and has now exited Koshi province. Some areas still have light cloud cover, but meteorologists say there is no likelihood of heavy rainfall such as in previous days.
According to meteorologists at the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, the weather has improved since Saturday night. The department’s bulletin at 6:20 AM today reported partial cloud cover over Lumbini Province and some hill and mountainous areas, while the rest of the country is mostly clear.
Meteorologist Ujjal Upadhyay explained that clouds will clear and sunshine will return starting Saturday. Pollution levels have also decreased due to the rain. He posted on Facebook Saturday evening: “Feel free to wash clothes tomorrow; they will dry nicely. Observe the picturesque Himalayan views and breathe in the fresh air. Enjoy such pleasant weather in the coming days.”
Meteorologists note that it is currently the pre-monsoon season. During this period, even if there is sunshine throughout the day, clouds often form in the evening, with occasional thunderstorms, lightning, and light rain, sometimes accompanied by hailstorms. Therefore, meteorologists advise vigilance to avoid the dangers of lightning and hailstorms.
