About one and a half months have passed since the onset of monsoon in Nepal. Monsoon entered Nepal from the east from the night of 15th May. There has been heavy rain in places. More than 500 disaster incidents have also occurred. There has been a loss of property.
But Vinod Parajuli, head of the flood forecast division under the Department of Water and Meteorology, says that the flood has not crossed the danger level in any of the big rivers across the country.
This year, the Department of Water and Meteorology had predicted more rain than Sardar. But till now, the flood in the big rivers of the country has not crossed the danger level.
He says that in the next three days, no major rivers will flood beyond the danger level. He said that heavy rains in small rivers can cause major floods. He said that even today, sudden floods may occur in the hilly and Himalayan regions of Gandaki, Karnali and Wagmati Provinces and Sudurpaschim Province. Talking to
news agency Nepal , he said that in the last one and a half months, Madhes province should have received about 50 percent rain, so far only 20 to 25 percent rain has been received. He said that there has been some rain in recent days and it will continue to rain in the coming days.
He said, "After about a month and a half of monsoon, none of the big rivers of the country have crossed the danger level. In the next three days too, no major rivers are likely to flood beyond danger. Heavy rains in small rivers can cause major floods. Even today, we have estimated that sudden floods may occur in the hilly and Himalayan regions of Gandaki, Karnali and Wagmati Provinces and Sudurpaschim Province. This is the risk for the next 24 hours. In the last one and a half months, there has been very little rain in Madhes province.'
He said that looking at about 50 percent of the rains in Sardar, it has rained only 20 to 25 percent of what should have happened by this period of monsoon. He said, "Until now, even half of the total rainfall that should fall has not happened. Now there is some improvement. It has been raining lightly to moderately for the last few days. It seems that there will be some rain in the coming days as well. The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has made a three-day forecast based on the latest accuracy of the weather forecast. Monsoon is expected to be active.
As predicted by the Water and Meteorology Department, Monsoon will be active for the next three days. He said that the flood that occurred on Tuesday night in Bhotekosi in Rasuwa was normal. Although the flood was small, due to the Gegran left over from the previous flood, something big appeared and caused some damage.
