Nepal heads towards a dry monsoon this season. Why? What will happen next?

The monsoon season typically begins in the South Indian Ocean, gradually moving towards Nepal from the east and progressing westward through the central part of the country. The monsoon brings rain almost every day, impacting people’s lives and contributing to agriculture. But the country has been seeing breaks in usual monsoon patterns here and there. So, how will the monsoon look this year? Will it be a dry monsoon or a normal season?

According to various sources, including the Department of Water and Meteorology of Nepal, average and below-average rainfall is expected in the southeastern parts of Bagmati province, most of the Madhesh province, and the central and northeastern regions of the Koshi province. This means it is likely that this year too, Nepal will see a dry monsoon.
