Farmers throughout Nepal have welcomed the heavy rain which has drenched the country this week. This week’s rainfall reminds us of a similar event two years ago, when a series of strong westerly fronts brought heavy showers, well above average, in May and early June but delayed the actual monsoon by about two weeks. It is not certain that this will happen again, but satellite pictures this week indicate that robust westerly fronts have more moisture in store for the weekend. Valley residents can expect sunny intervals with short showers this weekend. Enjoy the fresh mornings after the air is washed clean..
