The Department of Water and Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for several regions in Nepal. According to their forecast, heavy rains accompanied by gale-force winds are expected in Lumbini, Karnali, and Sudurpaschim provinces. Some areas in these provinces may even experience hefty rainfall.
A low-pressure system in India influences the weather in Nepal, leading to increased precipitation. This system is expected to cause heavy to hefty rainfall in the western parts of the country.
The department has urged residents to be cautious of potential disasters such as landslides, floods, and soil erosion. They have also advised people to avoid areas prone to these hazards.
The effects of the low-pressure system are expected to gradually diminish on Saturday. However, light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorms is still predicted for many parts of Nepal.
