Nepal has been recording heavy rains for the past few days. In fact, many cities of the country also recorded three digit rainfall activities. These rains were occurring due to the axis of Monsoon trough which was running across the foothills of the Himalayas, which is in very close vicinity to Nepal. These hefty showers triggered floods in many parts of the state.
