Rainfall expected for three days

KATHMANDU:  The country is bracing for yet another wet weather event with rainfall expected throughout the country over the next three days.

The Meteorology Forecasting Division has issued a forecast of showers in Kathmandu and other areas with chances of snowfall in the country’s north western mountainous region.

The change in weather pattern has been attributed to the western disturbance, an extra-tropical storm originating in the Mediterranean region that brings sudden winter rain.

According to the Division, the weather will remain generally cloudy throughout the country with chances of light to moderate rain to occur at many places of the central and western regions and light rain to occur at some places of the eastern region. The Division has also predicted chances of heavy rainfall at a few places of the central and western regions.

Meanwhile, Kathmandu is witnessing moderate rainfall since early morning today.
