Summary

Poor weather forecasts in the high hills of Nepal have caused loss of lives and property.
There are only five weather stations around Nepal above 4,000 metres that measure rainfall.
Most air crashes in Nepal have happened due to aircraft flying in poor weather.
Experts stress the need for more automated weather stations, but officials say the country doesn't have the budget and is talking with donor agencies.
