Weekend Weather

Warm Rain

The Tarai is baking at 40°C and super-heated air is rising along the foothills, creating massive storm cells. This trend is expected to continue in the coming days with moderate to heavy thunder showers on Friday and Saturday. Things will get drier next week, but the humidity level will be high. The rain leaves dusty stains on cars because it is washing down sand from dust storms in the Indian desert. The air is still smoky because there are extensive wildfires in Garhwal in India and far-western Nepal.
