KATHMANDU, Oct 18: Change in the weather with light rainfall is likely with the impact of the westerly wind.

Meteorologist at the Weather Forecasting Division, Hira Bhattarai said that temperature had been decreasing for some days in the country. The westerly wind is getting active. "Generally, as the monsoon retreats, the westerly wind becomes active. So, we are likely to have light rainfall in the hill areas of Sudurpaschim, Karnali and Lumbini Provinces today and tomorrow," he added.

The westerly wind also brings cold. The country would see rising cold in the days ahead. This year, the monsoon exited from the provinces of Sudurpaschim, Karnali, Lumbini, Gandaki and Madhesh last Saturday while it exited from Province 1 on Sunday.

With the retreat of the monsoon, the weather has been clear across the country for some days. The minimum temperature was recorded at 12 degree centigrade while maximum at 26 degree in Kathmandu today.
