The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology said the monsoon will become active coming week as well since the monsoon low pressure system is close to the Tarai region.Rainfall will take place in most of the places of the country next week, said Senior Meteorologist at the Department Barun Poudel.

“The rainfall will not be confined to the same place continuously, but will take place at separate places on different days. Rainfall will not occur continuously. There will be sunshine for some time and rainfall for some time alternatively,” he added.
