Hail Storm Lashes Kathmandu

1st March 2010. A brief sudden heavy rain with falling hailstones in the evening made the journey of paedestrians difficult in Kathmandu. The rainfall was sudden. Although the rain was expected, no one has imagined that the rain will fall at that time of the day without any previous warning, and probably no one has imagined that the rain will accompany hailstones with it.

The rain though it came without any warning, it has atleast made the environment clean. The smog and smoke hovering in the sky of the capital city are now settled. Probably the citizens of kathmandu will at least feel relieved to get the atmosphere clean.
