A weather bulletin issued this morning predicted a heat wave in the Tarai belts of Sudurpaschim and Lumbini Provinces.

Even the valleys in Bagmati and Gandaki Provinces are likely to experience hotter weather later today. 

The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology said  that the country is witnessing a partial effect of westerly wind. The low pressure belt also has a minor effect on the national weather system, especially in the eastern region.

With this, it is likely to have generally cloudy weather in mountainous regions. 

Moderate rainfall and snowfall are expected in one or two places in the mountainous region in the country. It will, however, be partly cloudy in hilly belts and generally clear in Tarai.
