What this Kathmandu forecast covers

The forecast is for a city coordinate at 27.7172° N, 85.3240° E. It is a numerical weather prediction from MET Norway, not a live station observation at your hotel. Local showers and conditions elsewhere in the valley can differ.

Use the hourly outlook to compare possible times for a walk or outdoor visit, while keeping a flexible alternative. Wind is shown in kilometres per hour; precipitation is in millimetres. A rain amount is not the probability of rain, and a clear city forecast does not certify that an intercity road is open.

Weather and your Nepal road journey

A Gorakhpur–Kathmandu or Kathmandu–Pokhara journey crosses areas beyond this forecast point. Check the intended route with your transport provider and consult Nepal Department of Roads notices for road information. For Nepal weather notices, consult the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology.

Keep a rain layer, drinking water and essential items accessible on the travel day. A fixed-time attraction or flight should not depend solely on a favourable city forecast. Read the Kathmandu–Pokhara road guide for planning stops and connections.

Kathmandu weather by season

Nepal Tourism Board describes a climate that varies with altitude and a main monsoon period broadly from June to September. Seasonal patterns help with trip planning, but they cannot predict conditions on your particular date. Kathmandu city weather should also not be used as a proxy for a high-altitude trek or a Chitwan lodge stay.

For a viewpoint outing, leave room to change the order of local visits. For a road circuit, protect transfer days and onward connections with a realistic margin. Our seasonal road-trip planning article explains how to use forecasts alongside an itinerary.

Forecast questions

Is the temperature observed right now?

No. The prominent value is the model forecast for the current hour or nearest eligible forecast timestamp. Its valid time and model issue time are shown so you can judge its freshness.

How often does the page update?

The page checks for refreshed display data every ten minutes while visible. The server respects the weather provider’s cache expiry and reuses valid data, so pressing refresh does not necessarily create a newer model issue.

What happens if the weather service is unavailable?

A recent cached forecast may remain visible with its issue time. Older data is labelled stale; data more than 24 hours old is withheld. If no usable forecast exists, the page shows an unavailable state and source links.
