Nepal's weather and climate
The climatic conditions of Nepal vary from one place to another. It depends on the geographical features of Nepal. It is divided into three different regions. They are:
Terai region: This region lies in the tropical southern part of Nepal. The hot and humid climate occurs in this region.
Hilly region: This region is neither hotter nor colder. The climate is warm and pleasant, but in the morning and evening of the winter season, it feels a bit cold.
Mountain region: This region lies in the northern part of Nepal. It is the alpine zone where the climate is colder compared to other regions.
While talking about the weather in Nepal, it can be categorized into four different seasons. They are:
Spring: From March to May can be categorized as the spring season of Nepal. The temperature would be 22 degrees Celsius. This is the fine season for trekking and climbing in the Nepal Himalayas, as the weather is warm and the views are clear. This is the colorful season when the flowers blossom, and the forests are full of greenery. The trekking trails are surrounded by beautiful birds and flowers like pheasants and rhododendron, respectively. Moreover, the snow on the mountain is neither too much nor too little deposited, so it would not be a difficult task to climb up to the peak.
Summer: From June to August can be considered the months of the summer season. This is the monsoon time so the temperature would be of approximately 30 degrees Celsius and a bit hotter during the heat waves. Rain occurs almost all the months, especially in July and August. As a result, most of the trekking trails become muddy, which creates difficulty in walking. However, lower-elevation trekking can be possible. Besides, the Trans-Himalayan areas like Mustang and Dolpo are best for trekking in the rainy season of Nepal.
Autumn: From September to November is known as the month of the autumn season. The temperature would be between 10 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius at midnight and mid-day respectively. It means the weather would be neither too much warmer nor too much cooler. This is the perfect time for trekking and climbing in Nepal. The Himalayas are not covered by too much snow. Therefore, the trekking and climbing trails are crowded in this season as the skies are vivid and no more rainfall. The mountain views are clear. Besides, the villages are full of local people as this is the festival time in Nepal. Nights are lighted with celebration because the people are delighted in singing, dancing, and so on.
Winter: December to February is the winter season. It feels cold during these months. The temperature can be decreased up to zero and sometimes reaches a minus degree as well, especially at midnight in the mountain zone of Nepal. During the day, it rises up to 20 degrees Celsius. However, this is the coldest season of the year. The high hills and mountains are covered with beautiful snow. Sometimes, snowfall occurs even in the lowland region.
