Climate Change: Absence Of Winter Rain And Snowfall Turns Nepal's Mountains Grey

Mountain ranges appear grey in the absence of sufficient winter rain or snowfall, as seen from a hill station in Dolakha district in Central Nepal, on February 7, 2025. The westerly winds usually bring rainfall to the country, but global warming disrupts this system. Changes in the polar region and the jet stream affect the westerly winds.
