Chance of snowfall in the mountainous region today
The Meteorological Forecasting Division said the western low-pressure system would weaken from Tuesday night. Meteorologist Pratibha Manandhar said the trend of the weather becoming fine for some days and again becoming cloudy causing precipitation has been repeating due to the rapid change in the weather system.
"There is much rainfall in winter if the weather is excessively dry in the rainy season in a particular year," Manandhar said. According to her, the weather system that is developing today will enter in the western region and also exit from there. This will not have an impact in other regions. The weather will be generally cloudy in the western region and partly cloudy in other hilly areas on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the weather will be partly to generally cloudy in the western region while remaining fair in the rest of the country.
