Tonight, the weather will remain generally cloudy in most hilly areas, including Madhesh, Koshi, Bagmati, and Gandaki Provinces, and partly cloudy in the rest of the country. Moderate rainfall is expected in some areas of Madhesh, Koshi, Bagmati, and Gandaki Provinces, and in a few locations elsewhere.
