A cyclist carries LPG cylinders and wades through a flooded section of the road in Kathmandu, Nepal, on July 3, 2025, following a heavy downpour as the monsoon takes hold over Nepal. Usually, the monsoon clouds start entering Nepal on June 13, but this time they enter a fortnight earlier than the usual schedule. It usually lasts until the last week of September. The Met office predicts that Nepal is likely to witness above-normal monsoon rainfall this year. Nepal annually faces disasters of floods, landslides, and inundation during the monsoon, resulting in the loss of lives and properties. As the Himalayan nation braces for above-average rainfall this year, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) predicts that around two million (1,997,731) people from 457,145 households could be affected by monsoon-related disasters.
