The Meteorological Forecasting Division said on Saturday that westerly and local winds, along with moisture-laden air from the Bay of Bengal, are currently affecting Nepal’s weather.

Due to these influences, partly to generally cloudy conditions have been observed over Koshi, Sudurpaschim, and other hilly regions, with light rainfall and thunder at a few locations in the hilly areas of Koshi, Bagmati, and Gandaki provinces.

During the day, partly to generally cloudy weather is expected over hilly regions of Sudurpaschim, Karnali, and Lumbini provinces, with partly cloudy skies elsewhere. Thunderstorms accompanied by light to moderate rain are likely at a few places in the hills of these provinces and at isolated places elsewhere. Light snowfall is also possible at a few places in the Himalayan region.

The division has advised people to remain alert, stating that the forecasted weather may affect daily life, agriculture, health, roadways and air transport.
