Light, intermittent drizzle is likely to occur in all parts of Nepal except the Eastern Region until Friday night, according to Rajendra Shrestha, senior meteorologist with the Meteorological Forecasting Division at Tribhuvan International Airport.



Clouds continue to hover on the sky over Central, Western, Mid-Western and Far-Western regions of the country.



“The clouds brought by the cyclone are likely to clear up by Saturday morning,” Shrestha said, adding occassional drizzle is not uncommon in November.



Despite cloudy weather and slight drizzle, temperatures rose in Kathmandu on Thursday compared to Wednesday. The maximum and minimum temperatures in Kathmandu were 22.5 and 10 degree Celsius on Thursday compared to 19.9 and 9 degree Celsius on Wednesday when the Valley witnessed a sharp drop in maximum temperature by almost five degrees.
