As According to the Division, the weather across the hilly regions, notably the Koshi Province, remains predominantly clear, while other parts of the country also experience clear conditions.

This afternoon, the weather is expected to persist with clarity in the hilly terrains encompassing Koshi, Madhesh, Bagmati, and Gandaki provinces.

However, partial cloud cover is anticipated in other areas.

There exists a likelihood of scattered to light rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning in select locations within Koshi, Madhesh, and Bagmati provinces, along with isolated occurrences in remaining hilly regions.
