KATHMANDU, Aug 8: The Kathmandu Valley witnessed heavy rainfall, causing floods in the river and streams. The Weather Forecasting Division (WFD) said the federal capital saw continuous downpour since last night.


The WFD has said that Nepal will have rainfall for a few more days as the low pressure range of monsoon is currently active above the average location (near Nepal). The heavy rainfall is caused also because of the monsoon wind and low pressure system developed around Bihar of India.
