- Scientists attribute the floods to a glacier collapse in Langtang National Park on 26 August.
- According to Nepal News, the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology received flood information 16 minutes after the border crossing.
- Nepal’s early-warning system relies on conventional river gauges designed for slower rises, making them ineffective during flash floods.
