KATHMANDU, June 22: Nepal is currently experiencing partly to generally cloudy conditions across the country due to the ongoing influence of monsoon winds.
Heavy rainfall likely in some provinces today
According to the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology’s Forecasting Division, light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning is likely in many hilly areas and some other parts of the country today.

Light rain or snowfall is also expected in some high hilly and mountainous regions.
