The climate of Biratnagar (Nepal)
Biratnagar is located in the southeastern part of Nepal and is the
second largest city in the country. The city is an important
industrial center for the region; many factories can be found here.
The city is situated on the fertile Gangetic high plains. These plains
get their water supply from the rivers Ganges and Indus and encompass
large parts of India, Nepal and Bangladesh and are very fertile. This
means agriculture is a main source of income for the region.
Biratnagar itself is not really a tourist destination. However, the
city is often used as a starting point to explore the surroundings.
Besides the beautiful surroundings religious festivals are held here
several times per year. The inhabitants of Biratnagar celebrate these
festivals very exuberantly. The largest part of the population of
Biratnagar are Hindus.
Because of its situation Biratnagar has an extreme climate; besides
the four seasons there is also a monsoon period. Differences between
the seasons are rather large. Spring starts early and temperatures are
pleasantly warm then, sometimes even hot. During the second part of
summer the monsoon period starts. Besides high temperatures
precipitation figures are unpleasantly high. Autumn and winter are
windy, foggy and rainy. During these periods temperatures drop and may
even drop a few degrees Celsius below freezing point.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
