enjoy. Nepal’s
weather is generally predictable and pleasant. There
are four climatic seasons: March–May (Spring),
June–August (Summer), September–November
(Autumn) and December–February (Winter). The
monsoon is approximately from the end of June to the
middle of September. About 80 per cent of the
rainfalls during that period, so the remainder of
the year is dry. Spring and autumn are the most
pleasant seasons; winter temperatures drop to
freezing with a high level of snowfall in the
mountains. Summer and late spring temperatures range
from 28ºC (83ºF) in the hill regions to more than
40ºC (104ºF) in the Terai. In winter, average
maximum and minimum temperatures in the Terai range
from a brisk 7ºC (45ºF) to a mild 23ºC (74ºF).
The central valleys experience a minimum temperature
often falling bellow freezing point and a chilly 12ºC
(54ºF) maximum. Much colder temperatures prevail at
higher elevations. The Kathmandu Valley, at an
altitude of 1310m (4297ft), has a mild climate,
ranging from 19-27ºC (67-81ºF) in summer, and 2-20ºC
(36-68ºF) in winter.
