KATHMANDU: The Meteorological Forecasting Division has predicted overcast skies with light to heavy rain in parts of the country, including Kathmandu valley, for three days.

The change in weather pattern has been attributed to the western disturbance, an extra-tropical storm originating in the Mediterranean region that brings sudden winter rain.

According to a three-day weather forecast released by the MFD, the western disturbance is expected to usher in a spell of light to moderate rain across the country, mainly in parts of the western region tonight. It has also forecast light to moderate snowfall in high hilly and mountainous areas of the western and central regions. (The Himalayan Times)
