Mean Summer Temperature

Summer remains hot and moist in Nepal in general. But the generalization of climatic condition is too difficult. Variation can be noticed in places within the same altitude and latitude. This variation is resulted by the physical diversities of the country. Like the winter season, the temperature zones in summer also run in east west direction parallel to the topographic features. The temperature in May, June and July remains the highest throughout the country. In summer, southern Tarai belt experiences hot wether condition with 27 to 30 degree temperature. Western Tarai experiences even higher temperature than the average of Tarai and sometimes ‘hot wave’ also take place.
The Hill region experiences 20 to 24 degree temperature. However, inner Tarai, fiver valleys and basins experience 20 to 27 degree temperature on an average. The temperature of Mountain region remains below 6 degree in general. But the temperature of higher altitude above 5000m and snow covered areas remain below zero degree.
