Winter Months Repack | Nepal

Western Disturbances —extratropical storms originating in the Mediterranean Sea—move eastward, bringing light rain to the lowlands and significant snowfall (20-50 cm) to the high Himalayas. These are crucial for replenishing winter snowpack that feeds spring river flows.

The weather conditions in Nepal during the winter months vary depending on the region. In the lower elevations, such as in Kathmandu, the temperature ranges from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F) during the day and drops to around 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F) at night. In the higher elevations, such as in the Himalayas, the temperature can drop to as low as -20°C to -30°C (-4°F to -22°F) during the day and can even reach -40°C (-40°F) at night. nepal winter months
