The Office of Hydrology and Meteorology, Dharan is a vital government institution dedicated to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of hydrological and meteorological information in the eastern region of Nepal. Established with the goal of enhancing the understanding of atmospheric and water-related phenomena, our office plays a crucial role in supporting disaster preparedness, sustainable resource management, and environmental conservation.

Our core responsibilities include monitoring weather patterns, climate variability, and water resource availability through a comprehensive network of weather stations, river gauge sites, and observational tools. We provide accurate and timely forecasts, warnings, and advisories that assist government agencies, local communities, businesses, and researchers in making informed decisions.

In addition to data collection and forecasting, the Office of Hydrology and Meteorology actively engages in research and capacity-building activities. We collaborate closely with national and international organizations to adopt modern technologies and methodologies aimed at improving forecast accuracy and climate resilience.

Public safety and awareness are central to our mission. Through outreach programs, training workshops, and early warning systems, we strive to educate communities about weather-related hazards such as floods, landslides, and droughts, thereby reducing risks and safeguarding lives and property.

At Dharan, our dedicated team of scientists, technicians, and staff is committed to advancing meteorological and hydrological sciences and ensuring that our services contribute effectively to Nepal’s sustainable development goals.
