According to Rojan Lamichhane, a senior meteorologist at the Meteorological Forecast Division under the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM), the weather is expected to remain clear for a couple of days, as no weather system has developed to affect Nepal for another few days.

A weather system known as a “Deep Depression” has developed in the west-central part of the Bay of Bengal. This system has brought only light clouds to the Koshi and Gandaki Provinces while the other provinces are expected to remain clear, Lamichhane said.

According to him, the impact of the system is limited to India, Bangladesh and Myanmar. Nevertheless, there is a possibility of light snowfall in the high mountainous and hilly areas of Koshi, Bagmati, and Gandaki provinces.
