Comparatively, at the same time on Saturday, the minimum temperature was slightly higher at 5.2 degrees Celsius. However, by 8:45 am, it further plummeted to 4.5 degrees Celsius.

The initial measurement today indicates a minimum temperature of 4.5 degrees Celsius in Kathmandu Valley, suggesting a potential further decrease when reevaluated at 8:45 in the morning.

Simultaneously, the maximum temperature in Kathmandu Valley is also experiencing a downward trend.
