According to the Meteorological Forecasting Division, this year’s monsoon entered the country via the eastern part of Koshi State.
June 13 is a tentative date for the arrival of monsoon and this year, it made its presence three days earlier. It will be advanced gradually to other parts of the country.
The Meteorological Forecasting Division has provided an optimistic yet cautious forecast for this year’s monsoon season.

Specifically, the forecasts indicate that Nepal could receive 35 to 55 percent more rainfall than usual.
This increase in rainfall can have both positive and negative implications for various sectors across the country.
