October 18: Change in weather with light rainfall is likely to occur due to the impact of westerly wind.    
Meteorologist at the Weather Forecasting Division, Hira Bhattarai, informed that temperature has been decreasing for some days in the country. The westerly wind is getting active.

"Generally as the monsoon retreats, westerly wind becomes active. So, we are likely to have light rainfall in the hill areas of Sudurpaschim, Karnali and Lumbini provinces today and tomorrow," added Bhattarai.    

The westerly wind also brings cold. The country would see rising cold in the days ahead. This year, the monsoon exited from the provinces of Sudurpaschim, Karnali, Lumbini, Gandaki and Madhes last Saturday while it exited from Province-1 on Sunday.    
With the retreat of monsoon, the weather has become clear across the country for some days. The minimum temperature of Kathmandu was recorded at 12 degrees Celsius today while maximum temperature was 26 degrees. -- RSS
