Kathmandu: Most parts of the country are set to experience cloudy weather today due to the partial influence of western low-pressure systems, according to the Meteorological Forecasting Division of the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology. The division has forecast partly to generally cloudy conditions this afternoon, with light rain anticipated in the hilly areas and snowfall expected in the mountainous regions on Monday.
Meteorologist Binu Maharjan shared that the eastern region, as well as the provinces of Karnali, Lumbini, Gandaki, Bagmati, and Madhes, will experience generally cloudy skies. In contrast, the provinces of Koshi and Sudurpaschim will have partly cloudy conditions.
This afternoon, the hilly and mountainous regions are expected to remain partly to generally cloudy, with light snowfall likely in some high-altitude areas of Koshi and Gandaki provinces during the evening. Maharjan noted that Monday will bring denser cloud cover than today, with a possibility of light rainfall in the hilly regions of Bagmati, Gandaki, Karnali, and Sudurpaschim provinces.
In terms of temperature, the minimum temperature in Kathmandu has slightly risen compared to Saturday. The Meteorological Division recorded a minimum temperature of 7.2°C this morning, up from 5.9°C the previous day. Maharjan explained that this slight increase in temperature is due to the cloudy skies overnight, which have helped trap warmth in the capital.
