Kathmandu valley experienced continuous rainfall starting Friday morning due to the influence of Cyclone Arnab, which developed in the Bay of Bengal.

Visuals recorded from Jagdol Jhanda Park captured hazy landscape views across the cloud-covered valley. Despite the adverse weather, Kathmandu Metropolitan City officially commenced the three-day Kathmandu Film Festival 2083. The cultural gathering is scheduled to run through Sunday, 15 Kartik (1 November), featuring a wide range of cinematic activities.
