Pre-monsoon Climatic System Brings Rain In Nepal
Motorcyclists drive along the highway in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 4, 2025, wearing raincoats despite the heavy rainfall following the pre-monsoon climatic effect that takes form all across Nepal. The Weather Forecasting Division under the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology states that the country experiences the combined influence of westerly and local winds, along with a partial impact from moisture-laden air entering from the Bay of Bengal. The Division advises the public to take necessary precautions, as the expected weather conditions--rain, thunderstorms, and wind--may affect daily life, agriculture, health, as well as road and air transport.
