KATHMANDU, June 11: The scorching heat for the past few days has thrown the life of people out of gear.

The temperature in some parts of the country has soared to as high as above 43 degrees Celsius making a record. Voices for seeking ways to be safe from the excessive heat were raised on various platforms ranging from parliament to social media. The situation may ease as the monsoon is entering Nepal in a few days, said the Meteorological Forecasting Division.

Based on weather analysis of the past 30 years, the monsoon generally enters Nepal in mid-June and exits in the first week of October. Moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal along with the westerly wind, and the low pressure area from the surroundings of Bihar in India have had their impact, increasing possibilities for monsoon to enter Nepal on time, said Meteorologist Rojan Lamichhane. "The temperature has been decreasing in Koshi Province since Saturday. Clouds are forming, and factors required for the monsoon are favorable," he said.

Koshi Province and some hilly parts of the country will remain cloudy partially and generally, and the remaining parts will have clear skies. One or two parts of the hilly areas of Koshi Province are predicted to receive light rainfall, he said. The temperature across the country will gradually go down, but in the western Terai area it will remain constant for some more days, according to the Division.
