The Meteorological Forecasting Division said the country is currently under the influence of a westerly disturbance, local winds, and moisture-laden air from the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea.

This afternoon, skies will be partly to generally cloudy over hilly areas, while the weather will remain mostly clear elsewhere. Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and light to moderate rain are likely in some areas of Koshi and Sudurpaschim provinces, and at one or two places in the remaining provinces. Light rain and snowfall are possible at some places in the high mountainous region.

Tonight, partly cloudy conditions are expected in hilly areas with mostly clear skies elsewhere. One or two places in Koshi Province and other hilly areas may see thunderstorms and light to moderate rain, with a chance of light rain and snowfall at a few high-altitude locations.
