Nepal, May 25 -- he monsoon is likely to arrive in Nepal a few days earlier this year than the average date of June 13.

Min Kumar Aryal, Senior Divisional Meteorologist at Meteorological Forecasting Division (MFD) said that preliminary studies so far indicate the possibility of an early monsoon onset.

However, since the monsoon has already entered India's Kerala six days earlier than the average date of May 30-arriving instead on May 24, it is likely that Nepal will also experience an early onset of the monsoon.
