However, there will be brief rainfall with thunderstorms and lightning in a few higher places in Koshi Province and Gandaki Province and a couple of places in Bagmati, Karnali and Sudurpaschim Province.

The general impact of westerly wind as well as the partial influence of local wind has caused rain in various parts of the country including Kathmandu Valley on Sunday.

Although the westerly wind was a bit weak, the local wind was active and there was light to moderate rainfall coupled with lightning, thunderstorm and strong wind in hilly areas at present, according to meteorologist Ganga Nagarkoti.

There’s a likelihood of intermittent rainfall in addition to lightning and thunderstorm in the afternoon for few more days since pre-monsoon is already active in the country, added Nagarkoti.
