There is a possibility of light to moderate snow and rainfall in the country starting tonight. This is due to the influence of the low pressure system formed in the Arabian Sea along with the westerly winds.

Light to moderate snowfall and rain is likely in some places of Gandaki, Lumbini and Karnali Provinces and in a few places in the hilly and mountainous areas of the remaining provinces, says the Weather Forecasting Division in a Post-monsoon Special Weather Bulletin released earlier today.

In addition, there is a possibility of heavy snowfall in one or two places in the high hilly and mountainous areas of Gandaki Province. As a result, the division has requested people to take necessary precautions as the possible snow and rainfall may affect daily life, mountaineering, as well as the agriculture and tourism sectors.

The Division has also stated that it is continuously monitoring this system and will update regularly.
