Monsoon withdrawal from Nepal expected around Oct 2

KATHMANDU: The average date for the withdrawal of the monsoon from Nepal is October 2. However, as this is an average date, the monsoon does not necessarily withdraw from the country on the exact date and may retreat a few days earlier or later.

According to the Weather Forecasting Division, monitoring and analysis of the monsoon withdrawal are currently underway.

The Division said the monsoon will gradually begin withdrawing from the western part of the country and that a bulletin on the withdrawal will be issued soon.

According to the Division, the monsoon does not withdraw from the entire country simultaneously. It gradually retreats from the western region before withdrawing from the eastern parts of the country.
