Call to remain alert of hazy and smoggy weather

Kathmandu: The Weather Forecasting Division has urged the general public to adopt precautions as the smog and haze engulfing some parts of Terai since early this morning would generally affect normal life.

Issuing a notice for the coming 24 hours, the Division has asked the people to keep necessary precaution and alert measures as the smog and haze was likely to affect day-to-day life, health, and surface and air transports. Presently the westerly low-pressure system has a partial impact on the weather condition across the country. It has caused partial general changes in the weather condition in Gandaki province and partial changes in Madhes, Bagmati and Lumbini provinces.

Likewise, the weather would remain clear in the remaining provinces, the Division shared. In the afternoon today, there would be partial to general changes in province-1, Madhe province and Bagmati province while Gandaki province would witness partial changes.

The remaining provinces would see clean weather as predicted. The same type of weather condition is likely to prevail in the nighttime. Today Kathmandu has a minimum temperature of six degree Celsius and a maximum of 22 degrees Celsius.
