Meteorologist Devit Dhakal said clouds will begin forming over western Nepal from Friday afternoon, with light rain starting in some areas of Sudurpaschim Province. By Friday night, moderate snowfall is likely in high-altitude and mountainous regions across the country.
The western system is expected to bring moderate rainfall with thunder in parts of Lumbini, Karnali, and Sudurpaschim provinces, and scattered rain with thunder in some areas of Gandaki Province.
