A Nepali woman crosses a bridge in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 30, 2025, wearing an umbrella as rain batters the national capital under the influence of the weather effect created by Cyclone Montha from India. The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology issues an alert for 26 districts of three provinces as heavy snow and rain continue to batter the Himalayan nation under the influence of Cyclone Montha. Authorities warn of rising water levels and possible flooding in several rivers. The impact of the cyclone is likely to persist until Saturday, and residents living near riverbanks are urged to remain alert. Montha causes heavy rain in various parts of India. Schools are shut down, train and road transport are affected, and authorities are relocating vulnerable populations to safe zones in the coastal areas. Cyclone Montha, which originates in the Bay of Bengal and makes landfall in India's Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday night, affects Nepal from Thursday.
