Heavy rain forecast in one or two places of four provinces today

Kathmandu: The monsoon wind has its influence throughout the country at present, with the monsoon low-pressure trough somewhat north of its average position, the Meteorological Forecasting Division said.

There are chances of heavy rainfall at one or two places in Bagmati, Gandaki, Lumbini and Karnali provinces today.

As the weather remains generally cloudy throughout the country, light to moderate rain with thunder and lightning is likely to occur at some places of Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpaschim provinces and at a few places of the rest of the country, according to the Division.

There is also a possibility of light to moderate rain and snowfall at one or two places in the high, hilly, and mountainous region of the country tonight.

In view of the risk of floods, landslides, and debris flow, the Division has urged the residents to apply precautions and safety measures in urban and Tarai regions.

It has been informed that water levels in large and small rivers and rivulets could rise, potentially affecting daily life, agriculture, health, tourism, and transportation on roads and air traffic near river areas.
