Today’s weather in Nepal: August 24, 2025

Nepal woke up to a mix of clouds and sunshine this morning, with conditions set to shift through the day as the monsoon continues to dominate the country’s weather pattern.

Temperatures started at around 22 °C (72 °F) in the early morning and are expected to climb to a daytime high of 31 °C (88 °F) by mid-afternoon. While the first half of the day will see partly cloudy skies with occasional sunny breaks, rain showers are forecast to return from the late afternoon and continue into the evening.

According to hourly forecasts, rain could begin as early as 8 AM in some areas, clearing for a few hours, before becoming more widespread after 5 PM. Showers are likely to persist through the night, cooling conditions down to around 24–25 °C (75–77 °F).

Regional outlook

• Kathmandu Valley and hill regions: Mostly cloudy skies in the morning with temperatures rising quickly, followed by afternoon showers and possible heavy downpours.
• Tarai plains: Hot and humid conditions with daytime highs above 30 °C. Localized rainfall is expected in the late afternoon and evening.
• Mountain districts: Clouds remain heavy throughout the day with intermittent rain, raising the risk of landslides in some areas.

Monsoon season impact

August is one of the wettest months in Nepal, with average rainfall ranging between 310 mm and 470 mm. The country has already seen flooding and landslides this month due to heavy rain, and officials continue to advise caution when traveling through vulnerable areas.

The pattern of hot mornings and late-day storms is typical for this time of year, with high humidity making the heat more uncomfortable. Residents are advised to carry umbrellas or raincoats if venturing out in the afternoon and evening.

What to expect today

• Morning: Partly cloudy with brief sunshine; comfortable temperatures around 22–25 °C.
• Afternoon: Warm and humid; highs reaching 30–31 °C.
• Evening and night: Rain showers likely, continuing into late night. Temperatures cooling to the mid-20s °C.

Authorities have reminded residents, particularly in flood- and landslide-prone districts, to stay alert as scattered heavy showers remain possible.
