There is a possibility of light to moderate thunderstorms in some parts of the country and heavy rain in one or two places in Bagmati, Province 1, Gandaki, Karnali and Far Western Province.”
Issuing warnings and suggestions for the next 24 hours (Monday morning from 6 am to Tuesday morning at 6 am), the statement says:
Light to moderate thunderstorms in some parts of the country as well as heavy rains in one or two places in State 1, Bagmati State, Gandaki State, Karnali State and Far Western State are expected to increase river flow, erosion in hilly areas, landslides. It is requested to take necessary precaution as air and road transport as they will be affected and flooding may occur in places where there is no proper drainage.
According to meteorologist Nagarkoti, the low pressure line of the monsoon is now closer to the south of Nepal and farther from Nepal to the east. As a result, there is a possibility of more rain in the west than in the east. "But since the monsoon wind comes from the east, it also rains in the east."
The low pressure line of the monsoon extending from Delhi in India to the northern part of Bengal is considered to be its average location. The line that is now in the west-south of Nepal is slightly north of the average (towards Nepal) and in the east is south of the average.
"But it will continue to go up and down," said meteorologist Nagarkoti. "To the west, the line is still likely to be closer to Nepal."
According to meteorologists, the closer this line is, the higher the rainfall. At present, during the monsoon, if it rains 50 mm, it is considered heavy and if it rains more than 100 mm, it is considered very heavy.
