The Nepalese meteorological department has warned of heavy rainfall across the country between September 24 and 27, urging residents to stay prepared.
The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) in Nepal released an official alert on heavy rain expected from September 24 through 27. The warning covers the entire nation, with particular emphasis on hill and Terai regions that are prone to flash floods and landslides.
Authorities have asked people to monitor weather updates, avoid travel through flood‑sensitive areas, and secure homes and belongings against possible water damage. Emergency services are on standby to respond to any incidents that may arise during the alert period.
The advisory coincides with the early phase of the monsoon season, a time when Nepal traditionally experiences intensified rainfall. While no immediate damage has been reported, officials stress that the alert is precautionary and that the public should remain vigilant until the warning is lifted.
