Heading: Snowfall not expected this winter, says met office
Okay so this was the news and on the same minute I was reading this news the rain began to pour from the sky and it has been raining since. It stopped for a while and now it is back to raining again. I am sure all the newspaper has been distributed and now there is a high chance of rainfall on the hills around Kathmandu Valley. I can’t wait to see the snowfall this season. Lets see if it snowfalls and may be we can finally see the snow on the hills this season as well. I will have to wait till the rain stops. Well this might be good news for the people who are waiting for the snowfall and snow but what for the newspaper that published the above news?
Heading: Snowfall not expected this winter, says met office
News: This year’s winter is drier and comparatively warmer compared to past ones. According to the Meteorological Forecasting Division (MFD), there is a low chance of significant rainfall or snowfall this year.
According to Krishna Bhakta Manandhar, senior divisional meteorologist at the MFD, the western disturbance — weather phenomena that causes cloudiness, snow and rainfall — is weak this year. “There has been no significant rainfall or snowfall, save insignificant drizzle in some western parts,” he said. Today, the minimum temperature remained 5.6 degree Celsius. “The normal average during the third week of January used to be around 0 to 2 degree Celsius,” he said.
The western disturbance caused light rain in Jumla and drizzle in Nepalgunj and its effect will remain for one more day. Manandhar said the disturbance may cause a drizzle tomorrow, but if the disturbance is gone, the chances of rain would be slim.
On February 14 last year, Kathmandu received its first snowfall in 63 years. Manandhar said there is no probability of snowfall this year.
