KATHMANDU: The Weather Forecasting Division has stated that monsoon winds are currently affecting the Koshi, Madhesh, Bagmati, Gandaki, and Lumbini provinces.

Additionally, western winds are influencing the Karnali and Sudurpaschim provinces.

The eastern and central parts of Nepal are experiencing partial effects from a low-pressure system formed in northern West Bengal and surrounding areas.

Currently, the weather is partly cloudy to mostly clear in the hilly areas of Koshi, Bagmati, Gandaki, and Lumbini provinces, while other regions are also experiencing partly cloudy to mostly clear conditions.

This afternoon, the forecast predicts that the weather will remain partly cloudy to mostly clear in the hilly areas of Koshi, Bagmati, Gandaki, and Lumbini provinces, with other areas remaining partly cloudy.

There is a possibility of light to moderate rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, in a few places across Koshi, Bagmati, Gandaki, and Lumbini provinces.

Tonight, the weather in the hilly areas of the country, including the Koshi Province, is expected to stay partly cloudy to mostly clear.
