KATHMANDU, March 24: Light rain coupled with thundershower is predicted in some hilly areas following a partly and general weather in the high hilly and mountainous areas, according to the Meteorological Forecasting Division. 


This weather condition has followed the impact of the westerly low pressure system. As a result, a few hilly areas of Province 1, Bagmati, Gandaki and Karnali provinces are likely to witness light rain coupled with a thundershower. In view of this and increasing hot temperature with the onset of summer, the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has urged people to be alert.
