Temperature (average range)
Elevation plays a major role in the climate of Nepal. In the high mountain ranges, temperatures remain cold throughout the year. In the Terai (lowland plain area) and the Valley of Kathmandu, summers are hot and rainy, and winters are cool. Temperatures are highest from late spring to midsummer. The higher mountain elevations are always snow-covered.
