Meteorological Analysis

The prevailing weather conditions in Nepal are influenced by the monsoon air and a low-pressure system (Low Pressure Area) located in and around the northern part of Bangladesh. The Axis of Monsoon Trough is positioned north (near Nepal) of its average location. These factors are contributing to the current weather patterns observed across the country.

Stay prepared and take necessary precautions as the weather conditions may change throughout the day and night. Keep an umbrella handy and stay updated with the latest weather forecasts from the Meteorological Forecasting Division.
