The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has forecast rain or thundershowers across all divisions, including Dhaka, over 24 hours starting from 9 am on Wednesday.
“Light to moderate rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty or squally winds are likely to occur at most places in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, Mymensingh, and Sylhet divisions, and at many places in Rangpur division, with moderately heavy to very heavy rainfall in some areas,” said a Met office update.
Chattogram’s Sitakunda upazila recorded the highest rainfall in the country, with 193 millimeters in the 24 hours leading up to 6 am on Wednesday.
Day and night temperatures are expected to remain nearly unchanged across the country, according to the BMD.
In the past 24 hours until 6 pm on Tuesday, the highest temperature was recorded in Jashore at 34 degrees Celsius, while the lowest temperature was in Tangail at 24.5 degrees Celsius.
The BMD also noted that the low-pressure area over central Bangladesh and the surrounding region has weakened and merged with the monsoon axis. The axis of the monsoon trough runs from India’s Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal to Assam, crossing central Bangladesh. The monsoon remains active over Bangladesh and is strong over the North Bay.
