Farmers of Rukum West and Rukum East are happy after rain since Friday morning after long drought. Due to the influence of the western low pressure system, the weather has changed in Karnali, Lumbini and Gandaki areas since this morning.

Ranvir Khadka, a farmer of Musikot municipality-13, said that since it rained after almost 6 and a half months, it would be a big relief for the winter crops. The water should have fallen a little earlier. But even if it is late, it will make our crops flourish!,' he said. 

Along with Rukum West, it is also raining in Rukum East, the only Himalayan district of Lumbini Province, and snowfall has also occurred in the highlands and Himalayan areas of this region. According to Virman Vick, the ward president of Puthauttarganga village-1, snow is falling on the surrounding hills along with Putha and Churen Himal in this area.

Bharat Kumar Pun of Puthauttarganga-1 Macot said that as the life of the Himalayan people is becoming difficult due to increased dryness, this weather adversity will benefit them.
