Monsoon trough weakens as heavy rainfall risk drops in Sudurpaschim

The danger of severe monsoon downpours across Sudurpaschim has diminished as the monsoon trough originating from the Bay of Bengal loses strength. The regional weather office in Attariya noted that the meteorological system has gradually weakened since the afternoon. Despite the reduced threat, continuous precipitation has persisted throughout the region since 25 September, maintaining normal rainfall levels across most districts. Office Chief and engineer Sanjay Kumar Shah stated that caution remains necessary even as the system subsides. For the remainder of the afternoon, skies across the mountainous, hilly, and Terai areas are projected to remain mostly cloudy. Forecasters predict moderate precipitation accompanied by thunder and lightning in numerous locations, with isolated heavy downpours possible in one or two spots within the Terai sector. Moving into the night, moderate rainfall with lightning is expected to continue across various parts of the province. Looking ahead, atmospheric conditions are anticipated to improve progressively. By next Wednesday, most locations across the province will likely experience partly cloudy skies alongside occasional moderate showers in isolated areas. Meanwhile, the Terai region can expect generally clear night skies as the weather system moves away. The province has experienced steady rainfall since 25 September, prompting close monitoring by local meteorological personnel. While the weakening of the low-pressure trough significantly lowers the probability of widespread severe weather, authorities maintain that residents should stay alert to localised conditions.
