The influence of the westerly wind and a low-pressure system is currently having a partial impact on Nepal’s weather conditions. According to the latest weather forecast bulletin issued by the Meteorological Forecasting Division of the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, the weather across various provinces is experiencing different patterns.
Koshi, Madhes, Bagmati, and Gandaki provinces will have partly to generally cloudy skies, while the rest of the country will witness partly cloudy conditions. Additionally, some areas of the Terai region are experiencing foggy weather this morning, affecting visibility and transportation.
As per the forecast, the weather in the hilly regions is expected to remain partly to generally cloudy throughout the day, while the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy conditions in the afternoon. Light snowfall is likely to occur at one or two locations in the high hilly and mountainous regions of Koshi, Bagmati, and Gandaki provinces.
Similarly, a few places in the high hilly and mountainous areas of Koshi, Gandaki, Karnali, and Sudurpashchim provinces may also receive light snowfall, while one or two places in the high hilly and mountainous region of Bagmati province are expected to experience similar conditions.
The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has advised the concerned authorities to take necessary precautions, particularly in parts of the Terai region, where foggy weather may impact transportation and daily activities. With reduced visibility, travelers and commuters are urged to exercise caution while on the road. The department also emphasized the importance of preparedness, especially for those residing in high-altitude areas, as snowfall could disrupt normal life.
Nepal’s winter weather patterns are often influenced by westerly winds that bring moisture and temperature fluctuations across different regions. The current system is expected to cause cloudy skies in the hilly areas while maintaining a relatively stable weather pattern in other parts of the country.
The Terai region, known for its dense morning fog during winter, is experiencing similar conditions this morning, which may persist for some time. The department has urged people in affected areas to stay updated with weather forecasts and take necessary precautions.
With the likelihood of snowfall in high-altitude regions, trekkers and travelers planning to visit mountainous areas are advised to be well-prepared. Cold temperatures and slippery routes can pose challenges, and proper gear and guidance are essential to ensure safety. Authorities have also been alerted to potential weather-related disruptions and are closely monitoring the situation.
The current weather system is a seasonal phenomenon, and experts suggest that such conditions may continue for a few days before improving. While the foggy weather in the Terai may cause inconvenience, it is a common occurrence during this time of the year. The department will continue to issue regular updates to keep the public informed about any significant changes in weather patterns.
Overall, Nepal is witnessing a mix of partly cloudy to generally cloudy weather across various regions, with light snowfall expected in high-altitude areas. The government and concerned authorities have been advised to stay vigilant and ensure necessary measures are in place to mitigate any adverse effects of the current weather conditions.
