KATHMANDU, Sept 19: Rainfall is still likely for a few more days since the monsoon activities are still active, the Meteorological Forecasting Division said. Meteorologist Heera Bhattarai said that the monsoon low pressure trough is in the Nepali territory, above its normal position; hence, rainfall is likely for a few more days.
"The monsoon low pressure trough is above its average position near Nepal. Monsoon is nearing its end. Since it caused heavy rain toward its end in the past, we cannot take it to be weaker this time either," she said.
