What happened
The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology issued flood warnings for Nepal, forecasting heavy to very heavy rainfall between September 25 and September 27. Heavy rainfall was recorded in Karnali Province, where Simkot received 114.8 millimetres in 24 hours, breaking a previous record. Chief district officers reported that this heavy rainfall triggered landslides across several districts.
Why it matters
The extreme weather forecasts, which include the risk of infrastructure failure on the Prithvi Highway, could disrupt travel and economic activity. The Nepal Tourism Board has issued safety advisories following the warnings from authorities.
