In short

  • Rain and snowfall are expected across most regions of the country next week.
  • Farmers have been urged to secure harvested paddy crops against potential damage.
  • High-altitude tourists and state agencies are advised to stay alert for hazards.

Officials at the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology have indicated that most regions will likely experience rain and snowfall during the upcoming week. According to a special bulletin issued by the department, the exact intensity and potential risk level remain difficult to determine at this stage. Experts have cautioned that agricultural activities and tourism operations could face significant disruptions. Farmers have been strongly advised to protect their mature paddy crops currently lying in fields to prevent spoilage from damp conditions, strong winds and hail. In mountainous areas, the possibility of heavy snow and avalanches has prompted warnings for trekkers and visitors to check official weather forecasts before planning any journeys. Furthermore, experts have urged state agencies to maintain preparedness as persistent rain could trigger landslides on steep terrain weakened by previous monsoon activity.
