Nepal Braces for Heavy Rainfall as Low-Pressure System Develops in Bay of Bengal

Kathmandu. Due to a powerful low-pressure system developing in the Bay of Bengal, heavy rainfall is forecast across most parts of Nepal from October 8 to 12. Experts, analyzing international weather models, have indicated a possibility of continuous heavy and torrential rains, particularly in the eastern and central parts of the country, which could disrupt daily life. The government has urged everyone to exercise extreme caution.

Considering the risk of floods, landslides, and inundation that this weather change, occurring just before the festive season, could bring, experts have highlighted the need to learn from last year's devastating events and prepare accordingly.
