June 11: The scorching heat has thrown life of people out of gear since the last few days.    
Temperature in some parts of the country soared to as high as above 43 degrees Celsius. The situation may somehow ease as the monsoon is entering Nepal within some days, said the Meteorological Forecasting Division.    
Based on weather analysis in the past 30 years, monsoon in general enters Nepal in mid-June and exits in the first week of October. Moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal along with the Westerly winds, and the low pressure area from the surroundings of Bihar in India have had their impact, increasing the possibilities for the monsoon to enter Nepal on time, said meteorologist Rojan Lamichhane. "Temperature has started to decrease in Koshi Province since Saturday. Clouds are forming, and factors required for monsoon are favourable," he said.    
According to the division, Koshi Province and some hill areas of the country will remain partially to generally cloudy, and the remaining parts will have clear sky. One or two parts of hill areas of Koshi Province are predicted to receive light rainfall, said Lamichhane. Temperature across the country will gradually go down, but it will remain constant for some more days that in the western Tarai, according to the division. -- RSS
