Weather Forecast
Nepal’s weather is generally predictable and pleasant. There are four climatic
seasons:
March to May (spring),
June to August (summer),
September to November (autumn)
and December to February (winter).
In Nepal, the monsoon is approximately from the end of June to the middle of September.
About 80 per cent of the rain falls during that period, so the remainder of the
year is dry. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons; winter
temperatures drop to freezing with a high level of snowfall in the mountains.
Summer and late spring temperatures range from 28ºC (83ºF) in the hill regions
to more than 40ºC (104ºF) in the Terai.
In winter, average maximum and minimum
temperatures in the Terai range from a brisk 7ºC (45ºF) to a mild 23ºC (74ºF).
The central valleys experience a minimum temperature often falling bellow
freezing point and a chilly 12ºC (54ºF) maximum. Much colder temperatures
prevail at higher elevations. The Kathmandu Valley, at an altitude of 1310m
(4297ft), has a mild climate, ranging from 19-27ºC (67-81ºF) in summer, and
2-20ºC (36-68ºF) in winter.
Required clothing: Lightweight and tropical
clothes with umbrella are advised for June to August. Between October and March,
lightweight clothes are worn in Kathmandu, with a coat for evenings and warm
clothing for the mountains. More…
