The current meteorological analysis indicates that the monsoon low-pressure line is positioned south of its average location, and the entire country remains under the influence of monsoon winds. Furthermore, the weather is being influenced by a low-pressure system developing over the Bay of Bengal, which is contributing to the rain activity in Nepal.
