Rainfall Update: More flooding expected coming days
Rainfall Update: More flooding expected coming days
Please see the visualization of rainfall intensities in the form of maps in the following pages. The colored patches are the areas where heavy rainfall occurred in the past and is expected in the coming week. The red colored areas are where minimum rains and the purple ones are the areas where maximum rains occurred. You will see two kinds of maps (a) forecast for June 19, and June 22 and (b) trend of rainfall that caused heavy floods in western Nepal and North India.
Scientists have found that if the rainfall exceeds 144mm in a day, the likelihood of landslides increase unexpectedly in Nepal. The forecast shows rains will exceed the range of 200mm. So, more landslides to be expected. More loss of lives and property, sad news.
