Hello
everyone
This week
we are in Nepal in the city Kathmandu and the weather isn’t like the weather we
have in Belgium. The weather here is very extreme. When we have summer in July
and August they have their rain season. In Nepal the tropical southern part of
the country has a hot and humid climate that can rise above 45 Degree Celsius
during the summer. The mid-land regions are pleasant almost all the year round.
The northern mountain region has an alpine climate with lower temperature in
winter.
Nepal has
four climatic seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In spring the temperature is mildly warm in
low lands. In the summer or the monsoon season the weather is hot and wet at
times. It rains almost every day and in the evening there are thunderstorms.
Autumn is the best tourist season in Nepal with the summer that gone by and the
winter that that sets in. This is the perfect season for trekking and
festivities. In the winter the weather is cool and the sky is clear with some
snowfalls at higher elevations.
We are here
during the spring season and the temperature goes between 16 and 23 Degree
Celsius here in Kathmandu.
The monsoon
season starts at the end of June and ends at the middle of September. 80% of
the annual rainfall is during that period so during the rest of the year it’s
pretty dry.
When you’re
visiting Nepal in June, July or August you should wear lightweight and tropical
clothes with an umbrella because it rains a lot that time of the year. When
you’re visiting Nepal between October and March you should wear lightweight
clothes with a coat for evenings and warm clothes when you’re visiting the
mountains. When trekking in the mountains, high quality trekking gear that can
handle minus temperatures is recommended all year round.
So that was
it for this week
Talk to you
soon
