Cyclone ‘Arnab’ to Bring Rain, Snowfall Across Nepal Until Saturday
The impact of Cyclone ‘Arnab’ in neighboring India is expected to bring cloudy skies, rainfall, and snowfall to several parts of Nepal until Saturday, with authorities warning of possible heavy precipitation and travel disruptions.
The weather across Nepal has turned cloudy due to the influence of Cyclone ‘Arnab,’ which is currently active in neighboring India, increasing the likelihood of rainfall and snowfall across several regions. Skies have remained overcast since early Thursday morning, including in the Kathmandu Valley. According to the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, the cyclone’s effects are expected to continue until Saturday. Many places in Koshi, Madhesh, Bagmati, Gandaki, and Lumbini provinces are likely to receive rainfall, while high-altitude hilly and Himalayan regions may experience snowfall. The department has also warned of the possibility of heavy rainfall and snowfall in some areas. Authorities have urged the public to remain alert, as adverse weather conditions could trigger floods, landslides, and avalanches, while disrupting air and road transportation. Tourists planning to travel to high-hill and Himalayan destinations have been advised to check weather conditions and assess potential risks before beginning their journeys.
