The monsoon had entered Nepal from Koshi Province on May 29 which was 15 days before the usual onset date. But the monsoon has now returned to East Asia from Koshi Province. A meteorologist at the Meteorological Forecasting Division said the monsoon wind has shifted to East Asia from Koshi Province of Nepal due to the formation of a strong low-pressure area there.
Meteorologist Govinda Jha shared, "The monsoon has shifted to East Asia mainly toward the Philippines. There is still no possibility of the monsoon spreading in Nepal for a few more days." Soon after entering the monsoon, heavy rainfall occurred in eastern Nepal on May 31. The flood in Leuti rivulet following the heavy rainfall had swept away 100 meters of road along the Dharan-Dhankuta road section. Similarly, 22 houses were also swept away by Mai rivulet in Jhapa.
After that, rainfall has not taken place in eastern Nepal. However, local and westerly wind is active in the west and central region. Jha added that monsoon has not entered Nepal as westerly wind is still strong. Monsoon wind carrying water vapor from the Bay of Bengal enters Nepal, but it is weak now.
Temperature is increasing across the country due to weak monsoon system. Such a monsoon 'break' is not a good sign, which might cause heavy rainfall in some places and drought in other places, he opined.
