The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) has announced that the low-pressure weather system responsible for causing rainfall in Nepal has exited the country.
Releasing a notice at 2 pm on Sunday, DHM spokesperson Bibhuti Pokharel stated that the monsoon has weakened and weather conditions have improved.
However, since the monsoon has not yet completely subsided, there is still a possibility of rain. Nonetheless, the department estimates that there will not be continuous and heavy rainfall like the last two days.
The statement says, "Although the low-pressure weather system causing rain has exited Nepal, the monsoon has weakened, and weather conditions have improved. However, the monsoon has not yet fully departed."
Hence, everyone is requested to keep updated about the latest forecast information disseminated by this department through mediums like the website, social media, toll-free service (1155), and SMS, and take necessary precautions.
According to the weather department, the low-pressure system that developed in the Bay of Bengal had caused the monsoon to become active from the evening of October 3 to the morning of October 5. During this period, heavy to very heavy rainfall occurred in most parts of Madhesh and Bagmati provinces, and moderate to very heavy rainfall occurred in most places of Koshi Province.
The average date for the monsoon to enter Nepal is June 13, but this year it had arrived 15 days earlier. Its departure is also being delayed. The average date for the monsoon to exit Nepal was October 2, but this date often fluctuates every year.
