The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology said the monsoon trough is positioned slightly north of its average location, close to Nepal\u2019s Tarai region.<\/p>\n<p>According to the department, moderate rain or snowfall is likely at some locations in the Himalayan region. Light to moderate rain is expected at many places in the hills and at some locations across the Tarai.<\/p>\n<p>Many areas of the hilly region are likely to experience moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning. Similar weather conditions are forecast at some locations in the Tarai.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy rainfall is possible at one or two locations in the Himalayan and hilly areas of Koshi, Bagmati and Gandaki provinces, as well as in the hilly and Tarai regions of Lumbini and Sudurpaschim provinces.<\/p>\n<p>Generally to fully cloudy conditions are expected to continue nationwide tonight. Moderate rain or snowfall is likely at some locations in the Himalayan regions of Koshi, Bagmati and Gandaki provinces and at a few locations in the Himalayan areas of Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpaschim provinces.<\/p>\n<p>During the night, moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning is expected at many locations in the hilly and Tarai regions of Koshi, Bagmati, Gandaki and Lumbini provinces, as well as across Madhesh Province.<\/p>\n<p>Some locations in the hilly region of Karnali Province and the hilly and Tarai areas of Sudurpaschim Province are also likely to receive moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy rainfall is possible tonight at one or two locations in the Himalayan and hilly regions of Koshi, Bagmati and Gandaki provinces, as well as in Madhesh Province.<\/p>\n<p>The department has urged residents in areas vulnerable to heavy rainfall to remain alert to possible debris flows, floods, landslides and soil erosion. Intense rainfall over a short period could increase the risk of landslides in steep areas and trigger sudden rises in local rivers and streams.<\/p>\n<p>Adverse weather conditions may affect daily life, agriculture, health services, tourism, mountaineering and road and air transportation. The public has therefore been advised to regularly follow the latest weather and flood-related updates issued by the department.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=21569\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media Correspondent The influence of monsoon winds will continue across Nepal today, bringing cloudy conditions and rainfall to most parts of the country.
