Snowfall and rain expected across Nepal starting Friday evening



KATHMANDU: The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has issued a special weather bulletin, warning of snowfall and rain in various parts of Nepal beginning Friday evening.

This weather change is expected due to a western low-pressure system affecting the region.

Light to moderate snowfall is likely in high hilly and mountainous areas of Sudurpaschim and Karnali provinces, with some snowfall expected in similar regions of Gandaki, Bagmati, and Koshi provinces from Friday afternoon to Saturday.

Additionally, light to moderate rainfall is predicted for Sudurpaschim and Karnali provinces, with scattered rainfall possible in Lumbini, Gandaki, Bagmati, Madhes, and Koshi provinces.
