In Pictures: Kathmandu Valley battles heavy rainfall and flooding as monsoon hits hard

KATHMANDU, Aug 8: The Kathmandu Valley witnessed heavy rainfall, causing floods in the river and streams. The Weather Forecasting Division (WFD) said the federal capital saw continuous downpour since last night.

The WFD has said that Nepal will have rainfall for a few more days as the low pressure range of monsoon is currently active above the average location (near Nepal). The heavy rainfall is caused also because of the monsoon wind and low pressure system developed around Bihar of India.

Similarly, the WFD has issued an alert, urging people not to go near the rivers and streams which are flooded with downpour. The flood forecasting section in the Division has appealed to all to stay alert till 11:00 am as the water level is still rising in the rivers and streams.
