Kathmandu: The temperature in Kathmandu Valley is likely to reach up to 33 degrees Celsius today, according to the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology. The current weather pattern shows partly to mostly cloudy conditions in the hilly areas, including Koshi and Sudurpaschim Province, while the rest of the country remains mostly clear. This is attributed to the partial effects of local and westerly winds, as well as a low-pressure system around Bihar, India.

Later in the afternoon, the weather is expected to remain partly to mostly cloudy in the hilly regions, including the Koshi region, with a possibility of light rain accompanied by thunder and lightning. The rest of the country will continue to experience mostly clear skies.

Tonight, the forecast predicts partly to mostly cloudy skies in Koshi, Madhes, Bagmati, and Gandaki provinces, with clear conditions elsewhere. There is a likelihood of light to moderate rain with thunder and lightning in some parts of Koshi, Madhes, Bagmati, and Gandaki provinces, and in one or two places in the hilly regions of Lumbini.

Over the next 24 hours, the trend of light to moderate rain with thunder and lightning is expected to persist in Koshi, Madhes, Bagmati, and Gandaki provinces, and in isolated hilly areas of Lumbini province.
