Westerly winds influence Nepal's weather
Due to the spell of the Westerly wind, there is a chance of light rainfall and snowfall on Wednesday.
The Kathmandu Valley has seen sunshine which has provided some relief from the severe cold felt a few days ago due to the Westerly low-pressure system’s influence which has decreased to some extent. The minimum temperature of the Kathmandu Valley was measured at 4.4 degrees Celsius and the maximum at 17 degrees Celsius over the last 24 hours.
The Department forecast that Province 1, Bagmati Province and Gandaki Province will have partly to generally cloudy conditions today noon while the remaining parts will be partially cloudy.
Light rainfall is likely at a few places in Province 1, Bagmati Province and Gandaki Province and in a couple of places in Madhesh Province and Lumbini Province today.
