KATHMANDU, Oct 4: Rainfall has continued across most parts of the country including the Kathmandu Valley with meteorologists forecasting wet conditions until at least October 6.
The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) said the current rains are being caused by moisture-laden monsoon winds entering Nepal from the Bay of Bengal through Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in India. Another weather system is also approaching, which could intensify rainfall in the next two days.
