The two-week trend

What this means for Kathmandu
Today is about average for August. The forecast high of 82°F is in line with the 80°F typical for this month.
A 100% chance means rain is expected over most of the area. Plan indoor alternatives. Around 1,3 in is forecast, which is enough to soak trails and slow traffic.
Visibility is down to 0,3 mi - use low beams and leave extra following distance. Wet roads are likely; braking distances roughly double in heavy rain.
Northern Hemisphere, so peak summer falls in June to August.
The gap between the warmest and coldest month averages 54°F.
What to pack, what to skip
- Lightweight, light-coloured clothing and a refillable water bottle
- Sunglasses, a brimmed hat and SPF 30+
- A packable rain shell - 7 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
- If your dates are flexible, avoid June, August and September - historically the least comfortable months here.
