Kathmandu Sees Another Dip in Morning Temperature

Cold conditions strengthened in the Kathmandu Valley on Sunday as the minimum temperature dropped slightly compared to the previous day.

The Weather Forecasting Division reported 6.6°C at 5:45 am today, lower than Saturday’s 7.0°C recorded at the same time. Saturday’s official minimum had later settled at 6.7°C by 8:45 am, the standard time used to confirm the daily minimum. Officials say today’s final reading may drop further.

While temperatures across the country continue to decline overall, minor day-to-day fluctuations persist. Meteorologists explain that cloud cover keeps nights warmer, whereas clear skies allow heat to escape, causing early-morning temperatures to fall more sharply.

The Division measures temperatures daily from multiple stations nationwide, officially recording the minimum at 8:45 am and the maximum at 5:45 pm.
