South Asia's monsoon has begun nearly a week early, but Nepal may still face several weeks before its arrival. While the monsoon has covered parts of the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, its entry into Nepal is expected after it reaches southern India around May 26. Meteorologists anticipate below-average rainfall and above-average temperatures in Nepal during the monsoon season, though localized heavy rainfall is possible. India has issued heavy rain alerts for its southern states and heatwave warnings for its northern and central regions.
