KATHMANDU: The monsoon has gained slight momentum across parts of Nepal as moisture-laden air from the Bay of Bengal continues to flow into the region.

According to the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, the monsoon trough currently lies near its average position, contributing to increased rainfall activity in several provinces.
