KATHMANDU, APRIL 20

The weather across Nepal is expected to remain partly to generally cloudy in Koshi Province and the hilly regions of the country, while other areas will experience partly cloudy to mainly fair conditions, according to the Meteorological Forecasting Division.

This weather pattern is attributed to the combined effects of local and westerly winds. As a result, light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning is likely in some areas of the hilly regions of Koshi, Bagmati, and Gandaki Provinces. One or two places in other parts of the country may also witness brief showers. Light snowfall is also possible at a few locations in the high hilly and mountainous regions.

During the night, cloudy conditions are expected to persist over Koshi Province and the hilly regions of Gandaki and Karnali Provinces, while the rest of the country will remain partly cloudy to mainly fair. Light rain or thunderstorms are likely in a few areas of Koshi Province and isolated spots in Gandaki and Karnali Provinces. There are also chances of light snowfall in the high-altitude areas of Koshi, Gandaki, and Karnali Provinces.
