Monsoon Preparedness 

Nepal is on high alert for the upcoming monsoon season, as meteorological experts predict there will be more rain than usual, which could lead to disasters like floods, landslides and faster snowmelt. The weather is also expected to be hotter than normal, making these risks even worse. The latest forecast by the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology depicts a worrisome scenario. While the prospect of above-normal rainfall across most parts of the country is like a boon for the agriculture-dependent economy, it also raised red flags regarding the potential risk of natural disasters.
