KATHMANDU: The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has warned that various parts of the country are likely to experience rain and snowfall due to the combined influence of westerly winds and a low-pressure system formed over the Arabian Sea.
According to the Meteorological Forecasting Division, light to moderate rainfall and snowfall are expected today and tomorrow in several areas of Gandaki, Lumbini, and Karnali provinces, as well as a few places in the hilly and mountainous regions of other provinces.
One or two locations in the high hilly and mountainous areas of Gandaki Province may experience heavy snowfall. The Division has cautioned that these weather conditions could affect daily life, mountaineering, agriculture, and tourism in the affected areas. It has urged the general public and concerned authorities to take necessary precautions and stay updated with the latest weather information.
For Tuesday, the weather is expected to be generally cloudy in Gandaki, Lumbini, Karnali, and Sudurpaschim provinces, including other hilly regions, while the Terai will experience partly cloudy skies.
