KATHMANDU, JUNE 2
This year's monsoon is expected to enter Nepal on June 13.
According to the weather forecast division under the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, the monsoon has already reached northeastern India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Sikkim in India.
Rojan Lamichhane, a meteorologist from the division, stated that the monsoon will likely enter Nepal around June 13. He also mentioned there is a 35 to 55 percent chance of above-normal rainfall in most parts of the country during the monsoon.
Climate expert Dr. Dharmaraj Upreti noted that this year's monsoon reached Assam, Sikkim, and surrounding areas in India last Saturday. Consequently, it is estimated that the monsoon will enter the Koshi region about a week earlier than the expected date.
As the monsoon air has become more active, it can be assumed that the monsoon will be active in Koshi Province within the next three to five days.
