Kathmandu, June 11: The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has predicted that there is a possibility of light rain from today, which will cause the temperature to dip a bit.
Temperature has risen in most of the places across Tarai Madhesh belt (lowland) and the Kathmandu Valley for some time now in absence of rainfall, the Department said.
Meteorologist Pratima Manandhar said that western and the central part of the country is currently under the influence of the westerly winds and local winds while a majority of the places in Koshi Province is impacted by monsoon air.
Monsoon is taking some time to spread across the country from the eastern part as monsoon wind is yet to be fully active. She shared that the heat has increased significantly at present due to lack of rainfall.
She mentioned about the likelihood of light rainfall in various places including Kathmandu Valley from coming today. "The temperature will gradually decrease from today as clouds are also forming and rainfall is likely," the meteorologist explained.
Tuesday's maximum temperature of Kathmandu Valley was 30 degree Celsius while Bhairahawa, Dhangadi and Nepalgunj recorded 41 degree Celsius, the highest of all other places in the country.
A couple of places in mountainous parts of the country could witness rainfall which could affect the people's lives as well as road and air transportation, the Department cautioned and urged one and all for necessary precaution and early preparedness to reduce the impact of the rain-induced disasters.
